Acknowledging the rise of Southern rap, 2003's Ryde or Die, Vol. 3: In the "R" We Trust added <a href="spotify:artist:3ipn9JLAPI5GUEo4y4jcoi">Ludacris</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3RPYHNSwe3w0mtfJwKIN9P">Bubba Sparxxx</a> to the mix. Redemption, Vol. 4 from 2005 dropped "Ryde or Die" from the title of the series and introduced Flashy. The compilation, Past Present Future, followed six years later as group members devoted more time to individual projects. In 2017, Ruff Ryders launched a reunion tour as well as a reissue of the Past Present Future collection. ~ Heather Phares
