In a recent interview with Sway in the Morning, Drag-On who was synonymous with the Ruff Ryders camp during their heyday discussed his signature 1999 track \u201cDown Bottom\u201d with Juvenile. The impact that it had and how Ruff Ryders were one of the first hip hop camps to align themselves with the southern hip hop scene significantly. Prior to that Ruff Ryders signature artist DMX had already worked with the likes of 8ball and Jermaine Dupri. It was foreshadowing the run the south would have with hip hop during the 2000\u2019s.<\/p>\n
