Independent Hip-Hop Spotlight - 'RITTZ'

Gwinnett County, Georgia

Alias - White Jesus, Jonny Valiant

Associations - Yelawolf, Tech N9ne, Slumerican

Style - Double Time, Down South

Rittz raps in a unique double time style that conforms to a wide range of beats.

He is from the Atlanta area who signed onto Tech N9ne's Strange Music Label in 2012.

Previous to Strange Music, Rittz caught the eye of Yelawolf and who then proceeded to put Rittz onto the 'Box Chevy' track. This was the big break Rittz was waiting for.

Yelawolf then helped Rittz release the "White Jesus Revival" EP. Which put Rittz on Tech N9ne's radar for a possible signing to the label.

These 2 songs are the standout tracks from the "White Jesus Revival" EP

'White Jesus'

'Sleep at Night'

Signing onto Strange Music in 2012 he released his 1st album 'Life and Times of Jonny Valiant'

Standout tracks are "Like I Am", "For Real","Say No More", and a feature with Mike Posner "Switch Lanes"

'Say No More' feat. Tech N9ne & Krizz Kaliko

Rittz released his sophomore album 'Next to Nothing' with features from Twista, Yelawolf, Mike Posner & B.O.B,

'Crown Royal'

'In My Zone'

'Top of the Line' was Rittz's 3rd album.

He teamed up with Mike Posner again along with E-40 to provide a classic track 'Inside of the Groove'

The hard hitting 'Formula' feat. Tech N9ne

'Propane' feat. Devin the Dude, MJG

"Last Call" is Rittz's 4th and last album of the 4 album deal he signed with Strange Music.

'Down For Mine'

"Dork Rap' let's everyone know how Rittz feels about some of these up and coming rappers

and a introspective deep track 'I'm Only Human'

Rittz has come into his own and has formed a style that is unique and refreshing to hip hop. He has proven to give fans consistent quality material over the past 5 years and I'm excited to see how his career will grow outside of Strange Music.
