Ever since the beginning of the carreer as an MC, RYUZO has performed in many influential activities as MAGUMA MC's (the rap group he first formed). He was the only MC from Kyoto who participated in the legendary japanese 12 inch single "OWL NIGHT", and performed as front acts for most of the US hip hop artists such as RAKIM, NAS, REDMAN, COMPANY FLOW, BUSTARHYMES, CAMP LO, NICE & SMOOTH, GANGSTARR, DMX, BLACK STARR and many more, visiting the west area of Japan.
In 1998 he formed a group called "GREEN FORCE CREW" with a crew from Osaka, DESPERADO and organized the biggest parties in Osaka.
In 2001, a group called "YOUNG GUNZ" was formed by MAGUMA MC's (Kyoto), M.O.S.A.D. (from Nagoya), and OZROSAURUS (from Yokohama), and recorded a song on Ozrosaurus' first album, "ROLLIN' 045".
In 2003, a full album by MAGUMA MC's, "MASSIVE" was released. He also participated in DABO's third album, "Diamond" as a featuring artist.
