I Believe CD

Rapture – aka Brad Dring – fills the demanding roles of rapper, programmer, engineer and occasional drummer on Rapture Ruckus’ groundbreaking followup album, I Believe. Seven months in the making with final touches added by LA hiphop guru Brian Gardner (Eminem, Dr Dre, Janet Jackson, 2Pac, Blink 182, etc), this latest offering calls on six years of music making history from one of the New Zealand’s most respected underground talents.

Busting out of humble working class surrounds, the Rapture Ruckus story leans heavily on a remarkable journey of hardship, redemption and all things music – jazz, hip-hop, heavy rock – you name it, and you can bet that Rapture’s called on it as he’s fought to bring his emotionally charged songs to the expectatant masses. With a sonic landscape suggesting Fort Minor, Cypress Hill and Marshall Mathers, Rapture solidly convinces even the most hardened detractor with a talent that defies critique.
