This is the kind of music video where you know the artist isn’t gonna put up with any garbage.

Looks can be deceiving, but in this case, they certainly aren’t! A no-nonsense attitude is just the kind of thing we like once in a while, and Ruggedman is here to deliver on that tenfold. He knows what’s right, and he knows what’s important – things like family and love, and knowing what treatment you deserve. Such passions have driven some of the most hardcore agents of change throughout history.

So it’s little wonder that we at Ordior have been swayed and wish to extend our protection to his catalogue! Ordior is now working with Ruggedman to manage his copyrights and seek out unpaid and unclaimed royalties. We’re protecting the rights and managing the royalties of Ruggedman’s entire catalogue, so he can rest assured knowing that the quality music he creates is getting the treatment and respect that it deserves! Even now, lost royalties have been recovered by the Ordior team, and are moving into Ruggedman’s hands where they rightfully belong. Music of this caliber deserves every ounce of that consideration, and Ordior and our partner company Blue Pie are here to deliver!

Ruggedman is one of Nigeria’s most celebrated hip-hop artists. Born Michael Ugochukwu Stevens, he was fourth in a line of five children and moved to Lagos in his early years, which brought its own challenges. But the family has always been first for him.

When first venturing into the fray of becoming a musical artist, Ruggedman started recording his own music with a tape deck due to a lack of access to a professional recording studio. While the technology and method were rudimentary, it was enough for Ruggedman to record his ideas.

“I would put my face between both tape recorders and start rapping…catching both the beat and my voice onto the empty tape” –
