Rudeen: From Pop-Punk Roots to Hip-Hop Stardom

Rudeen's musical journey is a testament to his versatility and passion for the craft. He began his career in 2012 as part of a pop-punk band, ZBDK, where he first showcased his songwriting and performance talents. However, in 2018, Rudeen made a significant transition into the hip-hop scene, realizing that his true calling was in rap.

His shift to hip-hop was marked by a deep exploration of personal themes, such as heartbreak and vulnerability, which he eloquently weaves into his lyrics. Songs like Cuba Kamu highlight his emotional depth, where he reflects on past relationships and personal experiences. This emotional openness, combined with his lyrical skill, has set him apart in Malaysia’s indie-hip-hop community.

Now a rising star, Rudeen continues to evolve musically, experimenting with various genres and influences. He has worked with notable local artists like Hullera and has been featured on Joe Flizzow’s 16 Baris cypher series, cementing his status as a standout figure in the local music scene.
