When most rappers spit about their hopes and dreams, the objects of their desires are things like Platinum sales numbers, sky-high stacks of cash, fancy whips and one-night stands with gorgeous models. Rittz, however, has more serious and pressing concerns than whether to spring for a Benz or a Bentley. On this unreleased joint (making its world premiere as a free download), the Slumerican emcee fills listeners in on a few of the things that he’s been Wishin’ for. Count Justice goes minimal on the production tip, crafting a cinematicallly spare, guitar-laced groove driven by softly-pulsing percussion as the emcee spits about the life circumstances from which he longs to escape—from his dependency on drugs and alcohol to get through the day, to his tight finances, to the “music industry motherf*ckers” with their false promises. Most of all though, he wishes that the woman he loves were back by his side. The result is far from sunny, but listeners who appreciated the expertly-flowed confessional rhymes of Rittz’ White Jesus mixtape are sure to appreciate the brutal honesty on display here. If you’re digging it, be sure to check out last month’s official video, viewable via DJBoothTV.

I love how Rittz builds with the beat. Very few emcees understand the value of working with the beat and not against it just to show off their skills. Rittz can rap his ass off and he knows it, which is why he opts to take things slowly before unleashing the beast.

Really digging Count Justice sampling Fantasy by The Xx on this.
That chorus is pretty mean as well. Loved the track when I saw the vid. |

Man I agree Z, that build up is intense, Rittz really tore this one apart. It's one of those songs you have to play a few times straight off because of that sick build up.

Exciting to see real music in the Lil Wayne-type garbage that we're surrounded with today. Been a fan of Rittz ever since he was on Yela's "Box Chevy Pt. 3" and I can't wait to see what he puts out next.
There are very few artists who's album I would purchase, Rittz being one of them. Fantastic flow, content, and just a great all-around vibe. Good shit Rittz! Keep it comin! North Alabama's got your back! |

Good look for Rittz over this beat. He speeds up his raps so often, but has the ability to never miss the rhythm of the beat, not even slightly.

Lol please, Rittz keeps killing it.
I'd like to see him continue to grow and show more versatility by being able to slow down his flow more sometimes and work on different tracks that challenge his range. But don't get me wrong, keep this fire right here! His slow burning intensity and sharp machine gun flow are underground star material. I'd like to see him dominate with versatility as well, like the great ones have (Ready to Die, Pimp C etc.) and see him become the high sales superstar he could become. I'm jamming this until then though, absolutely. |
