Ruff Ryders

Ruff Ryders was a musical collective and an entertainment company headed by brothers Darrin “Dee” Dean and Joaquin “Waah” Dean.

Aside from the solo releases from affiliated artists, Ruff Ryders released the popular Ryde or Die compilation series (three volumes from 1999 to 2005), which showcased their impressive roster.
