Press

"Ric Rude does not appear to have the confidence of a great rapper, causing many people to be surprised when he spits his first bars"

— Ric R.U.D.E. – Verbal Assault Lyrics

"Ric’s bars ain’t no light shit. He drops hard lyrics on your head like hard drugs"

— Ric R.U.D.E. – Native of the City Lyrics

"Highlights include the electronic "The Real You," the sexy, funky "Hustle" and Rude's standout verse on "Music."

— Troy L. Smith, Filthy Funk's 'Eklectric'

"The only other rapping comes courtesy of The Soul Slingers’ Ric Rude, who joins Zahyia on “Music.” Certifiably catchy, this song carries the album’s strongest party vibe."

— M. Steve Hammer, Filthy Funk Eklectric

“ "If you’re looking for a Rochester emcee who could mimic Masta Killa’s smooth flow, it’s Ric Rude. His quote-worthy rhymes seem to go with any style of beat he raps over."”

— Alexandra Fox, If the Wu fits

"Ric comes strapped with a nimble baritone and heavy demeanor. He clearly has the skills to back up occasional bouts of braggadocio, yet that’s not his mission on the mic."

— M. Steve Hammer, The Soul Slingers The Ric Rude Mix

"Born out of the ashes of run-of-the-mill hip-hop groups in this city, the Soul Slingers are here."

— James Niche, Soul Slingers: The ACT:LIVE Interview w/ RICRUDE & Tim Tones

"The hottest song to come out of the city so far is Ric Rude's "Native of the City."

— B. David Zarley, A Taste of Rochester, NY's Hip-Hop Scene

"Rochester’s own, Native Of The City, Ric Rude dropped this lil ditty on us for your listening pleasure."

— actlive, ‘In All Honesty’ – Ric Rude [written freestyle]

"RIC RUDE puts his rhyme style on display and shows you what real hip-hop is all about."

— actlive, Soul Slingers – 'The RIC RUDE Mix' (Mixed by DJ Tim Tones)

"It became an outlet, a source for ideas and just to put everything that’s bothering me into music."

— The Rochester Insomniac, Music Spotlight: Ric Rude

"Native of the City" by Ric Rude combines Rude's strong lyrical skills with a fire beat to make perhaps the best song out of the city."

— Brian Zarley, Rap Country part II: North Coast

"You needed a shoe horn to get into The Bug Jar for the Beat 4 Boards extravaganza. I rolled up as Ric Rude was rapping and raving righteously. Rude and other artists of this scene have the lyrical insight, unity, and quality to really make something happen here"

— Frank Deblase, City Newspaper

"Local hip-hop duo brings something new to the 585: a 716 sensibility"

— Troy L. Smith, Metromix Rochester

"Outside of hip-hop, in politics, or whatever, when certain people get into certain positions, there'll always be ethnic issues," says Richard "Ric Rude" Baier, a 25- year-old local MC. "That's America to me. It's too much based on the physical."

— Troy L. Smith, Metromix Rochester
