“ Fuck Swag” is an assault on rappers who dress like Lenny Kravitz and pause after dropping subpar punch lines. It will probably find sympathy with every rapper tired of meeting interviewers who clearly haven’t done their research. “ Interview” feels like a skit turned into a solid rap record. The opener, “ Intro,” serves as thesis and confessional, the compulsory journal entry from an honest and uncertain road warrior who’s glad for the success he’s seen thus far, but fearful that the best laid beats and bars will go astray. It is the Slumerican soundtrack for those trying to keep their head up and their Muppet-like mane out of their eyes through all the bullshit. Sixteen tracks in length, Rittz’s first proper LP is a Bourbon-soaked, worn down, southern-fried everyman rapidly rapping his ass off in hopes to beat the ticking of the clock he hears in his head. Emotional and psychological wounds are (re)opened and drained, bled until one wonders if there is anything left in the self-dissecting patient.
If White Jesus was the introduction, then The Life and Times of Johnny Valiant is the autobiography, the book you’ve been waiting to read.
Featuring guests Paul Wall, Jelly Roll, Too $hort, and more, Crown also included the single "Wake Up Call" with Yelawolf and Twista.Max Bell is not, and has never been, a juggalo. 2, before closing the year with a fresh full-length Put a Crown on It. In 2019, he tossed out a pair of quick releases for fans, White Jesus Loosies and White Jesus Loosies, Vol. The album debuted at 43 on the Billboard 200 and also featured the track "Fuck Cancer" with Candice Freeman. The following year, Rittz returned with the singles "Dork Rap" and "Indestructible," which landed on his fourth effort, Last Call. Posner returned for the 2016 album Top of the Line, while veteran MCs like MJG, Devin the Dude, and E-40 filled the rest of the guest list.
RITTZ NEW ALBUM 2013 PLUS
His 2014 sophomore LP, Next to Nothing, featured a couple guest shots from Mike Posner, plus appearances by Yelawolf, Twista, and B.o.B. Strange Music signed the rapper late that year, and released Rittz's studio debut, The Life and Times of Jonny Valiant, in 2013. More collaborations followed, and so did two mixtapes, 2011's White Jesus and 2012's White Jesus: Revival. Soured by the experience and on the verge of giving up rap entirely, Rittz was recruited by Yelawolf to guest on "Box Chevy" from the 2010 album Trunk Musik 0-60. With a speedy, sharp tongue and dexterous rhymes, Rittz had a few close calls in the music industry, winning a battle contest on Hot 107.9 and nearly following in the career path of Eminem, but unfortunately he was unable to lock down a record label signing due to disputes in management and contract deals. At the end of the decade, he branched out on his own, self-releasing 2019's Put a Crown on It on his label, Cli-N-Tel Entertainment.īorn Jonathan McCollum in Pennsylvania, he was raised in the northern Atlanta suburbs of Gwinnett County, Georgia. Signing with Tech N9ne's Strange Music the following year, he issued a quartet of full-lengths with the label over the course of the 2010s. After some bumps at the start of his career threatened to derail him completely, he forged forth and eventually released his first effort, 2011's White Jesus. Southern rapper Rittz delivers lightning-speed bars with wit and a confrontational attitude similar to predecessors Eminem and Twista.
