Ryan Patrick Maginn, (born June 10, 1975) better known by the stage name Ryu, is a former rapper of Styles of Beyond with Tak. A Los Angeles native, Ryan ‘Ryu’ Maginn's first group, The Brigade, consisted of himself, Redeem, and Gravity Christ, though they never released any music.

Maginn subsequently set off as a member of Styles of Beyond with Takbir, Vin Scully and DJ Cheapshot. The S.O.B logo came from Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda, who later became a platform for the group to show their talent after 2004 as they combined forces to form the group Fort Minor.
