Interview: Miss Special x Rufio

Just days before Transition 2013, Rufio speaks with Miss Special in his long awaited interview for Special Sundays. The two spoke about the upcoming show in Sacramento, his many talents, his distinctive beat tag, as well as spelling of his projects and beats. He also spoke about working with Xuice (formerly Illecism) on "dRUnKenMasterS", his latest beat tape "For Lights" under Dub Temple Records from Brisbane, Australia and what's next for his group with B. Lewis and Insightful, ALORA.

NEW RELEASE: Rufio "fifth" [Beat Tape]

Another fresh project from the Sacramento scene, this time by way of producer Rufio. With just a few vocals including a Sac anthem featuring Chuuwee, fifth is essentially a beat tape. Solid from beginning to end. And now a word from Rufio before you press play:

"I believe every five years of ones life drastically changes. "fifth" is compiled of last minute beats made just for ths tape and as well as beats that has been stashed away. Mello, uplifting, and hard drums, enjoy the tape."

Enjoy. Chea!

BEAT TAPES: maticulous "mello instros" x Rufio "Rappers Jst Rap Onit"

I was just on a rant about beats on twitter. Far too many up and coming rappers grab industry beats over fresh original joints. Stop that. Sure, it's cool every now and again but hearing fifty-leven rappers rhyme over Otis, A Milli, Power, Marvin's Room, et al gets annoying really quick. How about a little bit of originality? Listening to these fresh original beat tapes is a great resource for emcees and a cool place to just enjoy quality music for casual music lovers. Enjoy mello instros from maticulous and Rufio's Rappers Jst Rap Onit. The more I hear from these two guys, the more I'm becoming a fan. Dope. Don't be afraid of beat tapes from unknown producers. Those are the guys you wanna fux with early. Peep my favorite beat from both projects down below and do yourself a favor and download 'em. Chea!

U Cartoon Foo's (Produced by Ru) by Chuuwee [Rappers Jst Rap Onit] from Rufio on Vimeo.

I've said it more times than I can remember, Chuuwee is a beast. The Sacramento spitter linked up with another Sac native Rufio on his new beat tape, Rappers Jst Rap Onit, due out today to provide these visuals. Rufio is a monster on the production and Chuuwee goes off on the cut. Look out for the beat tape dropping soon and in the meantime enjoy this one. Chea!

What I'm Watching: KENO x Rufio "Figure Four"

Keno is good people. He's like fam. I definitely dig his music, whether he's doing something solo or alongside Sauce Fonda (half of theOTHERSIDE).

A few months back he linked up with producer Rufio and put out a pretty solid project. "Figure Four" is one of the dope cuts from that project. Bobby Gee steps behind the camera and directs a pretty solid video. Enjoy. Chea!

Download: RUFIO x KENO "For Those Who Are Still Sleeping"

Keno is one of my favorite dudes coming out of the Sacramento Hip-Hop scene. He's part of the dope duo theOTHERSIDE (with producer Sauce Fonda) and stays putting out quality music. He recently teamed up with producer Rufio and the two just released For Those Who Are Still Sleeping. Definitely a dope project with features from Chuuwee, Soosh and more. Hit download and don't be a bitch about enjoying some free.99 music. Chea!

Check It ... Keno x Rufio "Figure Four"

Keno is one of those Sacramento rap cats that are killing it lyrically right now. He's been a long time favorite with The Mad Bloggers with his solo work, as well as his material with theOTHERSIDE (with producer Sauce Fonda). He's teamed up with producer Rufio. Rufio makes dope beats. If you remember Rufio was the dude who's project, The Edgewater, we posted back in October. The Edgewater was a project Rufio completed during a visit to Wisconsin with Haz Solo. Anyway, Keno and Rufio are putting out a new project, For Those Who Are Still Sleeping, soon and have dropped off the first preview from that project. Hit play and enjoy "Figure Four." Chea!

Download ... Rufio "The Edgewater"

I caught this in an early morning email from the homie Haz Solo. Pretty damn fresh project from Sacramento producer Rufio. Created in just a week, it's pretty damn impressive. Mostly beats with a few features. Check it out and enjoy.

Rufio, a well known producer from Sacramento, CA, produced The Edgewater in a weeks time. Not only that, he managed to snatch a handful of emcees from SAC as well as myself to feature.

He was in my neck of the woods (Madison, WI) last week and I challenged him to make a beat tape during his stay and entitle it the name of the Hotel he was staying in. We shot a promo video and I whipped up the artwork.

Here is the end result.

On behalf of Rufio and the rest of the contributors, Thank you and Enjoy

Peace,
Haz Solo
