Ruff Ryders Owe $1 Million In Taxes!

In order to get DMX, Eve, Drag-On and the rest of the Ruff Ryders crew, the label used old-fashioned street team tactics that involved stickers and posters.

According to the NY Daily News, the house Dee and Wah built owes the city of New York more than $1 million for plastering promo posters.

Finance Commissioner David Frankel, told the press that the label imprint based in Yonkers put up 3,400 illegal posters.

I'm not sure how these fines work and I'm surprised a label like Def Jam isn't at the top of the list for illegal promo items. Maybe they paid their bill while the Ryders didn't.

Either way, the Ruff Ryders have recently sparked things up again so hopefully they can generate money to take care of this tax debt.

In the video posted, Drag-On states that while on his way to the store, he was approached by some men who saw his chain and tried to rob him.

Although they didn't obtain anything, Drag-On states that it was still a problem.

“I was on my way to the store to get a dutch when the p**sy n**gas tried to rob me,” Drag-On said. “They tried to run up and get my chain, until they saw the heater.”

Drag-On also states that although it was more than one who attempted to take him down, he held his own and rolls strong, even by himself.

“Ya'll n**gas tried to jump me,” Drag-On continued. “And ya'll still didn't get sh*t, I still got my chain and I know who you are, so when I see you it's a wrap.”

Damn, that's messed up, but every rapper ain't Young Berg.

For rapper Drag-On, his years of working alongside Swizz Beatz, DMX and the Ruff Ryders has paid off as he has branched out to deliver his own slew of artists and launch his own record label.

Aptly titled Hood Environment, as Drag continues to push his own solo project My Life, My Legacy, My Melody, due out around April, the rapper is trying to clear a lane for new artists to have a platform to showcase their talents as he was provided an outlet when he was first coming up.

As the Ruff Ryders slowly pick up the pieces, Drag only looks forward with his own career.

During an interview with HipHopWired, Drag spoke on the background behind his label and how he has been grinding to push the name out into the open.

“It actually started like three years ago.  I went and found two artists and we just been up in the studio just grinding.  I started the Hood Environment, we started dropping mixtapes on the streets and the streets kept grasping to it and we just kept going from there.”

So far, the roster of artists is Terror the Dude and Oz D, both hailing from New York.

“I had actually met up with them through my old accountant that I used to deal with.  A couple cats that understood my movement, they just linked us up.”

As the year closes, the rapper is far from taking a break as he looks at January 1 as the point where things must pick up with introducing the music world to Hood Environment and its artists, along with the Ruff Ryders movement.

“In 2010, I'm just trying to launch my record label and get it off the ground and at the same time, I'm trying to get the Ruff Ryders back to where they need to be all in the same process while I'm doing that.  I'm definitely trying to break my artists, hoping to drop a Hood Environment Compilation.”

With so many questions and even more yellow tape surrounding the future of the rumored Ruff Ryders compilation, the rapper is clearly not keeping his eggs in one basket.  The love for the movement will never leave Drag, but for now, he has tunnel vision with the finish line being the success of Hood Environment.
