One year after his first LP, independent all-round artist Rudeka has returned with his second full-length album, ‘RU2‘, yesterday.
Rudeka took his first steps with the release of a mixtape in 2012. Since, he has made over 14 mixtapes and released his first official album, ‘RU‘, in November last year. His style is an acquired taste, with distinctive features like unusual harmonies and aggressive rapping.
In his second LP, narratively and musically succeeding his first, Rudeka shows off the scope of his art. At times sharply, at times softly, his voice wanders through diverse genres. He bluntly states his opinions using witty disses and word play, shows emotions with poetical lyrics, and tells gripping stories.
When your choices lean more and more towards the extreme
I will make a fire with these letters
That fire will emit light and smoke
Following them you will find me and melt your frozen body and heart
-I’ll Be There
Just like before, Rudeka created the entire album by himself, aside from the featured artists; rappers B.Ento and Woosuk Yang, guitarist Yonghyun Park, and singers HK and Shijung.
You can stream the album on YouTube (see above) and Spotify.
