Rucker’s garnered a reputation for unique poetry techniques and stage presence which were described as “strong, vulnerable, wounded and raging”.Rucker was invited to collaborate with numerous recording artists, and producers including King Britt, 4hero, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Wink and most notably The Roots and in numerous reviews, many critics proclaim the value of Rucker’s work with The Roots, 4 Hero and other groups.. Rucker’s emotion in her work and words, has led some critics to compare her to celebrated writers like Sonia Sanchez and Nikki Giovanni, describing them as “powerful”.Full of anger and passion expressed poetically to jazzy, soulful, simple backing tracks Ma’at Mama has, no doubt intentionally, a 60s beatnik vibe mixed in with the contemporary forwardness and controversy of today’s most probing rap acts. It’s a challenging listen, with lyrics to make you blush and think and music intended to fall in to the background but nonetheless it’s a rewarding one even if Ursula’s work is never going to make it on to your party mix tape."With " Ma’at Mama", Rucker shows a new level of maturity in her writing. It’s clear that she harnesses emotions in song to get through the daily grind. She explores socio-political point of race, class, culture, religion and gender, with steel-cut precision.
