Happy Memorial Day GUYS!!!!! Hope y'all enjoying the interviews got another good one today.. "Lil' Rick" a.k.a. "Ricky Ruckus" was born in Washington, DC on September 18, 1983. He moved to Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 1996. He earned the name "Lil' Rick" from his father Big Rick, and the name "Ricky Ruckus" because of his furious rapping method. His masterful mic skills and "in your face" attitude come from the many battles that this young rapper faced as a challenger. Ricky Ruckus became serious about rapping while attending high school. At the same time, DJ’s took notice and started giving him radio coverage -- DJ’s like “DJ Ceasefire” (Shadyville/102 Jamz/http://www.102jamz.com/). With the increased radio coverage, came challenges from other rappers, which only helped provoked him to hone his skills even more. With radio coverage, his name skyrocketed and he became well known in North Carolina and some parts of Virginia. It allowed him to open shows for Jay-Z, 3-6 Mafia, Mike Jones, Slim thug, The Game, Juelz Santana, Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne, Juvenile, U.T.P, Franchise Boys, etc..... Now a days you can find Ricky working in his own studio he runs Rucko Media..
