Reviews

Ruff Gr8ness makes coffee and cigarettes a perfect metaphor in this song. Coffee & Cigarettes is triumphant in its ability to blend the powerful bass line, strong synths and his middle-range vocals.

- Coffee & Cigarettes

This song gives a straight-up love/hate relationship vibe. It’s the simplicity! There are a few elements at work on “By By By”, the simple trailing piano chord, the ‘beat boxing’ and Angelica’s angelic voice.

- By By By

BS is delivered with such ambient, vibrating breadth and versatility that it highlights Ruff Gr8ness's greatest artistic strengths in his production and writing.

- BS

The subtle instruments and Ruff Gr8ness's singing on Fool's Gold is a mystery box of magical doors and false bottoms, evoking Lauryn Hill’s intro on “Ready or Not”.

- Fool's Gold

Duck Sauce is extraordinarily creative in its moving parts. Ruff Gr8ness switches effortlessly from a whisper-like, borderline baritone bridge into a falsetto chorus.

- Duck Sauce

"Monkey Face", for all it's humorous lines and the background comic relief vocals, is a triumphant sonic example of sexual power and the ability to get paid for it.

- Monkey Face

Pudding Pie is another example of Ruff Gr8ness's characteristically abstract imagery and unique ability to traverse through a mountain of snares, blaring synths, and add wailed backing vocals that complement one another nicely.

- Pudding Pie

Crazy Chick is the frankest exploration of betrayal, fighting and, oh lots of drama in a toxic love relationship I have ever heard. I love it!

- Crazy Chick

Ruff Gr8ness’s delivery on Badd One ranges from baritone to nearly a falsetto at times to match the clever lyrics. He does the switch ups to good effect.

- Badd One

You can't help but feel Ruff Gr8ness's delight when he tells the tale of the power that lies within the mystery women of his song.

- Bossy

On Ruff Gr8ness’s ‘Down Baby’ a deep bass guitar is complemented with a light ever-present piano note and well-timed background vocals.

- Down Baby

The intentionally bare instrumental comprises of background synthesizers and vocal samples guided by clever drums and kicks all while accentuating the hi-hat the most.

- Love Worry
