Drag-On Biography by Stacia Proefrock

Ryde or Die, Vol. 1 East Coast rapper Drag On had a long and profitable history in the background of hardcore rap albums, contributing to projects like DMX's two multi-platinum albums, Ruff Ryders' Ryde or Die, Vol. 1, DJ Clue?'s The Professional, and several compilations and soundtracks. In early 2000, he released his first solo album, Opposite of H2O, which brought him up to the forefront and showcased his talent for laid-back, slippery grooves and thug rhymes.
