Bringdaruckus.com (BDR) was the brainchild of Chris Torres who was shocked at the lack of attention Scottish hip-hop gets within the music industry and felt it was time for a change. Chris said, "I was looking to find more information on Scottish hip-hop but found it difficult to locate information on new releases, gigs and artists. Apart from the Scottish hip-hop forum there was not much else. This is when I thought about starting up a website that could remedy this problem. The aim was to build an online community for hip-hop in Scotland. A place where homegrown acts can showcase their talent and fans can get the latest gig information in Scotland." On April 1st 2006, bringdaruckus.com was born.
Drifter Jon we like to try and support interesting people who are doing what they do for the love of it and are basically into sturban clothing and that's how we came across Jon Beezy, here's his bio in his words, we like him but before we go into it we found out 2 interesting facts. His track car does 5 MPG, and for every event he spends £400 on tyres, and that's why this guy needs free clothes from us;-)
