👑 MR. RUCKMAN 👑
Mr. Ruckman is a Sydney-born lyricist carving out a name for himself in the Melbourne underground. The brazen rhymer is far from your typical radio rapper, but has developed an impressive and ever-growing fanbase, becoming one of Melbourne's most talked about lyricists of late.
Mr. Ruckman has performed countless captivating shows across Australia, collaborating with some of Australia’s finest musicians, artists and DJs. He’s supported such prominent local names as Horrorshow, Dialectrix and Muph & Plutonic, to international heavyweights Pharoahe Monch, R.A The Rugged Man and GZA of Wu-Tang.
This year saw him supporting Atmosphere and Brother Ali, performing in front of 900 or so people at 170 Russell, and another international support on Snak The Ripper’s tour the following month.
His newest video, showcasing his double-time rhyming skills, hit over 180 thousand views in just a couple of weeks https://www.facebook.com/Mr.Ruckman/videos/822909717846716/ - this being his second video to go semi-viral after award-winning rapper 360 shared his song The 27 Club early last year https://www.facebook.com/Mr.Ruckman/videos/822909717846716/
The 27 Club; a vicious-humoured, rock-infused banger, became the lead single to Mr. Ruckman’s fourth studio album Cognitive Dissonance, which will be the cause for celebration on JULY 29TH as he launches it at the iconic Oxford Arts Gallery Bar.

Cognitive Dissonance shows an array of Ruckman’s typical foul-mouthed, dark-humoured and satirically-psychotic lyricism, contrasted with his more honest, introspective and philosophical songs, which resonate greater with his real nature. The technically impeccable, borderline freakish lyricism twists, turns and rolls effortlessly over Mike Kean’s minimal, sample based and acoustically influenced boom-bap production.
The record also features some of Australia’s most seasoned lyricists and artists, such as Manaz Ill, Kudos, Jace XL and more, and includes his stand-out singles The 27 Club, How To Live & Don Ruckman. Order or download the album now at www.mrruckmanmc.com Physicals will be available on the night.
