Fronted by the Mancunian duo Ryan-I and
Christafari, Ruff Trade burst onto the scene in
2016! The chilly, cobbled streets of Manchester
became our playground, dishing out an exotic
buffet of wild situations, endless possibilities,
and golden opportunities. Before we knew it,
we were the sound of the city, serving up
reggae straight to the masses—rain or shine!
Although let’s be real, it’s mostly rain up here in
the northwest of England, a far cry from the
sun-soaked vibes of Jamaica that inspired our
journey!
