Despite the many naive Caucasian Americans who believe the term "ruca" (and probably hyna too) were originated by Bradley Nowell of Sublime and other white Southern [Californians], both ruca and hyna have long been Chicano (American of Mexican ancestry) slang terms used in SoCal barrios, [particularly] by cholo and chola types, since the beginning of Chicano subculture. Please do your research for further notice and in the future. Sublime, particularly Bradley Nowell, was clearly a white boy from Long Beach, CA who was very familiar and obviously infatuated with Chicano and Reggae cultures. There is nothing wrong with that at all, I think it's cute, but please don't give credit to the wrong person or people! Know who the true originators/[OGs] ARE. I think white Southern [Californians], particularly from the Los Angeles area, are a lot more aware of Chicano subculture. I'm talking to the ones outside of the state who aren't familiar with us!
