A crown is earned, not given, and with two Gold Certified singles, twelve albums, and countless
tours around the nation, Rittz has claimed his right to "put a crown on it".
Traversing the everchanging landscape of independent hip hop, Rittz's career boasts a legacy
that includes a spot amongst Tech N9ne's Strange Music alumni. The endeavor produced four
Billboard charting albums and a touring regiment that he carries to this
day. In that period of time, Rittz broke through to the worldwide spotlight with an appearance in the highly coveted
BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher.
Following his departure from the label, the Gwinnett County native embraced the undertaking of
a fully independent career with the creation of his own imprint, CNT Records. The long awaited
solo venture gave way to seven releases under the CNT banner, and
saw Rittz return to the Billboard charts in 2019 with the full length album,
Put A Crown On It. Influenced by his admiration for down south production and laid back melodies, 2023's MellowLOvationMusic
found Rittz adding to the essence that has enveloped his music for years.
The album was supported by its lead single, "Who" featuring Project Pat, and a 46 city national tour.
In a testament to Rittz's ability to elevate himself among the best in hip hop, he soon found
himself with two RIAA Gold Certified singles: "Switch Lanes" featuring Mike Posner, and "In My Zone" featuring Mike Posner and B.o.B.
"Since I was a kid, having a gold plaque on the wall has been a goal of mine. Now I have one. The fans, who have supported me and my music, made my dreams come true!", exclaims Rittz.
The accomplishment that eludes so many artists validates a career built on perseverance and a dedication to the craft of lyricism. Without a breath to waste, Rittz's aptly named Back For More Tour looks to keep the emcee in the conversation of an ever evolving industry.
For most, it's enough to put an exclamation point on things for Rittz, it's only right to put a crown on it
