Life and career
Born in Lusaka and raised on the Cooperbelt Ruff Kaida's career initially started in 2000 as a means of escaping the life he was living and the level of poverty he faced on a daily basis. His passion for music has been influenced by Tupac Shakur.[6] In 2000, he met Mainza Chipenzi, one of Zambia’s music pioneers in the modern day era and recorded his first single Wekatemwikwa. His first album All 4 U was released by Dream Records and was distributed by the Zambia Angola Malawi Music Organisation (ZAMMO).[1] After the success of his first album, he was signed by Joe Chibanga for the release of his second album titled Matured. In 2006, he released his third album titled Most Wanted. He was then adopted MC Wabwino as his son and put him under his protection and guidance.[4]
In 2012, he released his fourth long awaited album titled Point Blank.[7] Ruff Kid's artistry and delivery of his music reflects his background in his quirky approach to his lyrics.
In 2014 Ruff Kaida launched a controversial album The Naked Truth.[3] The album received a lot of criticism over the cover photo.[2] At the launch of his album he made dramatic entrance when he came out of a casket received a lot of mixed reactions from his fans but however he was defended by Petersen Zagaze saying that "A primitive mind is no place to get advice...." he went on say “Everyday you watch movies with people in coffins, some even acting as Satanists, presidents, bishops, killers, sex workers, pilots, ghosts etc and you don’t complain, call [them] names or conclude, You see Ruff Kaida do a coffin stunt stage entrance you talk shallowmind talk. Why? Is it because it wasn’t Ukwa in a Nigerian movie or Nicolas Cage in the coffin?".[8] After the successful launch of The Naked Truth, said: “I feel amazed by how some people can be shallow-minded and go to the extent of saying things such as Illuminati.”[8]
Currently he is signed to Effycom Productions in the UK.[9]
