Lil Ru Releases New Deluxe Edition Project 'Key Is Mind Vol. 1'

Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes presents the release of the "Key Is Mind Vol. 1" Mixtape by Lil Ru. This 13 track project is currently available to stream and download on the Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes website.

Key is mind. Whatever that means, Lil Ru believes in it, as well he should. It is obvious, since this is the title of this mixtape from the Presidential Music founder, also a Def Jam signee, this is something Ru wanted to dedicate to his sister, Kim "FirstLady" Eley, who lost her life to a heart attack in early December, as detailed in the final song on the mixtape, "KIM (Key Is Mind)." This is one of many mixtapes from Ru, known for his only album, 21 & Up, which spawned the hit "Nasty Song".

Sylvester Samuels better known by his stage name Lil Ru, is an American rapper from Columbia, South Carolina currently signed to Def Jam Recordings. His debut album, 21 & Up was released on August 25, 2009. The Ridgeway native was 16 when he made his professional foray into the music business. Inspired by New Orleans' innovative Cash Money Crew, Ru began making a name for himself on his local music scene, doing live shows and pressing up his own CDs. Music fans first heard him on his 2001 debut single "Will Destroy." He then released his 2002 follow up, "Shawty What You Doin'." Both songs reached the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop charts.
