LIFE AND TIMES OF(EX

Recording information: Chapman Recording, Lenexa, KS; Ecko Studios, New York, NY; Laneway Studios, Pomona, CA; Mike's House, Hollywood, CA; Slumerican Studios, Nashville, TN; Tree Sound Studios Inc. Photographer: Chad Hess. Looking like a bouncer at a backwoods biker bar but flowing fast like he was Twista's younger brother, Atlanta rapper Rittz brings some Southern slang to the Strange Music roster, kicking the relationship off with The Life and Times of Jonny Valiant. This debut effort should still satisfy those who follow Tech N9ne and the Strange Music roster, as stoner anthems, swaggering club music, and punch line-filled putdowns are the man's bread and butter.
