Born Ruffians recorded their first album Red, Yellow & Blue (2008) as precocious freshmen, with the follow-up Say It (2010) resembling something the newly post-pubescent trio matured into after leaving school.

With songs theming on social alienation, decoding human communication and the glamour of rap culture, Born Ruffians have come a long way from the frantically uncontrollable yelping of their youth. Next stop: facial hair.
