Ruff Ryders' Next Venture

The Ruff Ryders/Cash Money tour is over and ended without the last scheduled performance. The last show in Phoenix was cancelled because all of the performers on the bill suffered from exhaustion. Eve's publicist told LAUNCH that she had even been diagnosed with dehydration. But although they were exhausted, they still found time to record on the road. Look for Ryde or Die: Volume II. Along with the entire Ruff Ryder family, look for appearances by Redman, Method Man, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, and Juvenile. A difference from Volume I and Volume II will be production. While Swizz Beats laced all the tracks for Volume I, Volume II will have a more different array of producers, including Dr. Dre, Timbaland, DJ Premier and new Ruff Ryder producer Teflon. Eve and Jadakiss from the Lox appear on the first single, the Teflon produced "Got It All".
