Die, Rugged Man, Die is the debut studio album by American rapper R.A. the Rugged Man, released on November 16, 2004, through Nature Sounds ([Die, Rugged Man, Die](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die,_Rugged_Man,_Die)). The album served as his official full-length debut after years of being an industry outcast and recording unreleased projects for major labels like Jive and Capitol ([RA The Rugged Man: Rough, Rugged, and Raw Tour 2024 - The Holding Company](https://theholdingcompanyob.com/show/ra-the-rugged-man-rough-rugged-and-raw-tour-2024/)). Fun fact: Despite signing his first major label deal at age 18, it took over a decade for him to finally release this proper debut album ([Die, Rugged Man, Die](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die,_Rugged_Man,_Die))!
