Papoose has definitely maximized his new 15 minutes of fame . Despite a few hours of Twitter backlash, you can't think Pap imagined his Summer Jam stage invasion could go any better. Yesterday, he led his one-man NWO impression to MTV's RapFix where Sway asked him a few questions. But more importantly, PAPOOSE KICKED A FREESTYLE! Pap. Don't ever change. Ever. You're a national treasure just the way you are. Meanwhile, MTV had two actual scheduled guests in Gunplay and Rittz. Hilarity ensues when [...]

If you want to hear a fairytale, turn on your radio. Every four minutes or so, indestructible superheroes vanquish their foes without retribution, adorn themselves with gold and diamonds, and somehow always have time to f*ck your b*tch. Be it an escape from reality or just a source of our hopeful, if misguided, aspirations, this music is the soundtrack to our lives, even if it's usually fake. Strange Music artist Rittz, though wizard-like in appearance, does not deal in fairytales. The Gwinnett County, Georgia, native is a blue-collar journeyman who uses his debut album, [...]

Rittz – The Life and Times of Jonny Valiant Strange Music: 2013 You might remember Rittz from one particular breakout guest feature, or from his own passable 2011 mixtape White Jesus , but whichever way you do, it will likely always be with another rapper in mind. Rittz spends a number of bars on The Life and Times of Jonny Valiant , his debut studio album, singing the praises of his mentor Yelawolf, and it’s not hard to tell why. Either by featuring him on his own “Box [...]

Mods and rockers. East coast or west coast hip hop. Acoustic Miles and Dylan versus the plugged-in versions of the icons. The seemingly mandatory obligation to pick a side confounds me. I never understood why punk/indie-rock and metal had to be mutually exclusive genres. I love Husker Dü and Judas Priest, Fugazi and Van Halen. That's why bands like Rodan appeal to me. Rodan's three-year existence ended in 1994, before subgenres like metalcore and mathrock became [...]

It's been awhile since we've heard from Jackie Chain, but he's beginning the release of his newest project, Bruce Lean Chronicles Vol 2 with the first single, "Trippin'" featuring Rittz. The track is driven mostly by Rittz, who delivers a stellar intro verse and smooth chorus. Jackie Chain closes it out typical Jackie Chain fashion: with the demeanor of a true Southern pimp, rapping about weed, Box Chevys, sluts, threesomes, and chains. I think I heard a lean reference in there somewhere too. And for the record, I don't know how Rittz [...]

Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Mexicans’ underdog victory over the French in the 1862 Battle of Puebla, but all Americans tend to recognize it...because who can pass up a commercialized holiday whose theme is tequila shots and an excuse to chow on Mexican entrees. As our gracious interviewee last week , Rittz took things a step further by sharing with TSS the burrito he cooked up after his Revival Tour. And now, we'll share with you, beloved and potentially white girl-wasted reader, the Strange Music man's burrito recipe. [...]

Max Bell is not, and has never been, a juggalo. 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. Emotional and psychological wounds are (re)opened and drained, bled until one wonders if there is anything left in the self-dissecting patient. 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 [...]

Art: Miss Dimplez [Scene: Manhattan's Hudson Hotel; time and date: 6 pm, Wednesday, April 16] Rittz is tired. Or he was tired. He’s slouched in a chair in the hotel's lobby, a Bulleit bourbon in hand, his frizzy red hair tumbling out a black stocking hat after getting up from a nap. Here’s why: since getting into New York to promote the release of his Strange Music debut album, The Life and Times of Jonny Valiant , he’s been everywhere. Listening parties for [...]
