So Rugged Soul Records' DJ Rob A and legendary emcee Masta Ace got together and music happened. And it's good. The digital album, "Put to Paper" dropped today and is now available through Rob A's Bandcamp, iTunes and Amazon and features explicit and clean versions of the title track, another Rob A solo track ("Still Have Strenf") as well as instrumentals for both.
