Rittz Talks Top 5 Rappers, Craziest Yelawolf Story, Liking Auto-Tune & More [Video]

Radio personality Justin D Live sat down with Chicago rapper Mick Jenkins to talk about the following: On Next to Nothing album, Rittz address many personal issues. Specifically on the “Basket Case” record, the Atlanta native deals with the double edge sword that is success and questions the motives of his “rap friends”. Rittz talks about his fans being inspired by his story and how he has to remind them that his success may have had a lot to do with luck. “So many people look at me as the spokesman. Like, “Rittz man. Since you did it i’m going to quit my job and do it (become a rapper) too.” — Everybody can’t do this. I got lucky.” After clarifying the difference between his personal favorite rappers and who he thinks are the “Top 5 Rappers” in the game right now. Rittz was a bit hesitant to share his list due to the fact that his fans are “Anti anything”. “We going (Top 5) in the game right now? Cause, these aren’t my (personal) top 5 favorite rappers. My fans are going to hate this shit cause my fans are anti anything. I think Drake, Kanye, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, & Rick Ross.”

SL Jones feat. Rittz & Ebony Love – M.D.M.A. [Audio x Download]

SL Jones and DJ Burn One’s upcoming collaborative mixtape, “Paraphernalia”, drops this Wednesday. M.D.M.A. is about addiction, about the way it can make you feel on top of the world and the way it can tear you apart. People mostly associate addiction with hard drugs, but you can be addicted to anything, and when I first heard this beat — the way it gave me a rush — I knew it was perfect for getting that point across. This was one of the first beats DJ Burn One made for Paraphernalia. Rittz stopped by the studio one day and we were playing each other new tracks. I told him I had a song that was perfect for him, and once he heard it, he was all for it. Ebony Love came through and graced us on the hook. She’s so full of inspiration, I honestly believe she could make any song better. [audio:http://www.trackblasters.com/downloads/SL_Jones-MDMA_(Feat_Rittz)_(Prod_DJ_Burn_One).mp3] Download here
