P-90 Rugar

I am P-90 Rugar, an aspiring producer from Willingboro, NJ. I was raised on great music from artists such as Dennis Brown, Sade, Luther Vandross, Issac Hayes, etc. Eventually, I expanded my musical pallate to include many Hip Hop greats like The Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac, Wu-Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, etc. I began to fall in love with making music as a freshman in high school when I first began to write rhymes. Finding this outlet wasn't enough for my creative mind, I began making beats as a high school junior in 2004. As a result, I began to further expand my love of music to include The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Stevie Wonder (more than before), J-Dilla and Slum Village, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Ahmad Jamal, etc. The music I make now is an integration of all of these artists and more, combining elements from all of their music with the colorful music within my brain, inventing a genre that I like to call 'Space Hop.' I hope you enjoy the infusion of generations of music with a new school flavor. One Love.
