BIG BUS IS THE NAME AND DETROIT IS THE MOVEMENT

About Me

BUS" a name you can't and won't forget. He's one of Detroit's best. Born Torando Ruffin in the state of Mississippi on December 1, 1979, but soon relocated to the Westside of Detroit due to the tragic murder of his grandmother. Raised by his mother Linda Ruffin, Torando learned the HUSTLE GAME early in life. His mother hustled to make sure her family had the best. Mrs. Ruffin was determined to give her son a good life and keep him out of trouble, she kept her son active whether it was football, basketball, or boxing, she made sure to keep him away from the dead ends of Detroit. Torando got into boxing at 14 and that's when he became ''BIG BUS''. His boxing coach "Pete Man" gave him his name, he said he reminded him of a big bus, big and full of life. Though Torando's mother tried to keep her son active and in school he soon decided to give it up. Torando left school in the 9th grade and moved to Texas with his aunt Marie. Torrando never decided to go back to school he hustled instead and used his name ''BIG BUS'' to his advantage. Torando started gettin mad respect in Texas, he was definitely known in his hood. He soon left back for his hometown of Detroit and kept his hustle up out here. ''BIG BUS" was always into hip hop he started managing for local artist in Detroit, one by the name of ''BIG LOUCH'' after managing he started engineering and producing which started him rappin for hiself. He's worked with numerous local Detroit artist such as Tre Little, Big Herk, Juan, Prevail, Mysterious, Fat Killers and more. ''BIG BUS" is well known on the streets of Detroit and well respected. He's currently working on his first album "AOD'' (Art of Development) which will be droppin next summer. So for now look out for his mix tapes and be ready for ''BIG BUS" to take over the CITY.
