Solo cuts "Until We Meet Again" and "My Window" are heavy songs with social commentary and poignant lines filling a lyric sheet that could reach the moon and back, but if there's a bum line, it's buried, even when "Ghost Story" goes blunt and offers "You're sh*tty, like a giant pile of manure." Rittz is awesome, like a giant pile of awesome, and even if Top of the Line is aptly titled, his discography could use something a bit leaner to persuade the masses. Fans who like to keep it fam will prefer the Strange Music posse cut "The Formula," where Rittz beats labelmates Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko with his declaration "You a cartoon drama, I'm Picasso." The other guest shots are in fascinating pairs, as Mike Posner and E-40 help deliver some funky chillout music with "Inside of the Groove" while Devin the Dude and MJG guest on the smooth-riding, good-timing "Propane," which could kick off any weekend mixtape.
#Rittz new album top of the line plus
All that said, becoming a Rittz addict is fairly easy, as the moody title track opens this effort like a dramatic crime thriller while proving the Strange Music signee is up on what's poppin' with "All you kids wanna be Futures" plus some other hashtag-killing lines.
Take out the three skits and this third LP is still 18 tracks big, which sounds like a fan-aimed deluxe edition, but there's already one of those with five more numbers for the true Rittz addict. On September 9th 2014, Rittz released his sophomore studio album entitled Next to Nothing, which features appearances from Twista, Trae tha Truth, Mike Posner, Scar and B.o.B.
Since 2012, he has been signed to Strange Music Inc. Seeing as how this is more or less a Strange Music subreddit, and not just Tech N9ne, I figured you guys could help me out.ĮDIT: I put it together, here's the tracklist and this is a link to the playlist on Spotify Rittz was born in Gwinett County, Atlanta on August 16, 1980. I'm very new to Rittz's songs (I'm actually listening through all of his albums that are on Spotify right now), and I was wanting to make a playlist on Spotify with the best Rittz songs he has.
