RITTZ - The Life And Times Of Jonny Valiant (2013)

Slumerican ambassador and Strange Music’s latest addition, Rittz, will step out on his own for his first full-length release with The Life And Times Of Jonny Valiant on April 16th. The buzz-worthy release will see the Gwinnett County emcee take on an old persona while giving listeners an earnest account of his road to success.

“I’m so happy with how these songs have turned out. Whoever’s a fan of me already is just going to love this project. A lot of it is life stories. It’s crazy. I’ve got a song in there called ‘My Interview’, which is basically a mock interview, and it’s kind of like a bio song, giving out my story and my influences.

The type of rap music and the rappers that influenced me growing up, that’s the type of music I put it on this album.”

The Life And Times Of Jonny Valiant is slated to include features from Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko, and will see the return of DJ Burn One on production duties.
