Here is a surprising move that was made that caught me off guard. According to allhiphop.com, rapper Murda Mook—legendary freestyle battle rapper—has signed a deal with Ruff Ryders. The details are yet to be disclosed. Check out the full article:
Harlem, New York rapper Murda Mook has inked a recording deal with Ruff Ryders Entertainment, the label famous for introducing a number of superstar rappers.

With or without DMX, it looks like Double R is looking to make a statement this year. Obviously they want to tell the industry that they haven’t completely crumbled and are here to stay…but we’ll have to wait and see for how long they are here to stay!
