Daniel Andrew Franco (better known as Rucku$), is a 25 year old rapper & visual artist from East Los Angeles, California. At a very young age, he was introduced to hip-hop through artists like Nas, 50 Cent, & Wu-Tang Clan. But it wasn't until high school when his passion for music really grew.  He would write rhymes in class & freestyle with his friends, until he eventually saved enough money for studio equipment. He recorded and uploaded his first songs at 16 years old with his group (at the time) Mental Ecstasy. Shortly after, he decided to turn his love for hip-hop into a full time aspiration. Rucku$ is known for his smooth flows, charismatic lyricism, and his raspy, unique voice. His production is mainly influenced by modern trap, west coast g-funk, & even jazz. He's also the creator of a visual arts brand called MXNDFVCK, where he puts his love for graphic design & fashion on display. You’ve probably caught Rucku$ at some well known LA venues such as The Blvd, Rare House, Small Green Door, and many future shows. Stay tuned for more new music !
