R.U.R.A.L Recordsz Entertainment's BRIEF HISTORY:
The indie record label was established originally in the Year 2006, but because of some unfortunate turn of events, the existence of the label existed in the year 2007. The First ever RURAL lab was created at a bedroom of the house of the Rodil family. It was located at Batangas. It was then decided that the label’s name was RURAL because it was easy to remember, it’s unique and it totally describes the location of the label. Just right after the indie label was born, Keep It Locked Beats, a beat producing team exclusively for R.U.R.A.L (the In-house production team of R.U.R.A.L lead by Genocide) existed also. The first ever artist of RURAL was “XO ICY” a rap crew that was comprised of 6 male members (Genocide, G’Rhyme, Jayman, Jinx One, Jopak & Lil Fink). Using only a computer, a dynamic mic, an oldschool mic preamp and a steel ladder (used as mic stand) the label was able to release the first ever RURAL produced song titled “Hanggang Saan Ang Kaya Mo (Sukatan Ng Galing)” (released 2007). It was a song by XO ICY from their 1st mixtape “Straight To Tha Point” (released in selected stores October 2007).
