Posted by Nathan S. on 05/23/12 | Filed under Downloads, Freddie Gibbs, Rittz, DJ Burn One, SL Jones

I don't know how I missed the fact that there SL Jones and DJ Burn One were turning out some new music, and that said new music featured the likes of Rittz and Freddie Gibbs, but I did. My bad, consider this a catch up then. And even better, SL provided some textual info far more interesting than anything I could invent. Listen and download...

Krizz Kaliko, Rittz & Chamillionaire Send Out a “Mayday” to Real Hip-Hop Fans (Listen)

Posted by Nathan S. on 05/12/12 | Filed under Refined Picks, Downloads, Chamillionaire, Rittz, Krizz Kaliko

Speaking of Mayday, I have no idea if Krizz Kaliko's new single "Mayday" is a reference to his Strange Music label mates or merely a concept track, but either way Krizz has dropped off yet more music tailor made to fucking pistachios too. Listen...

Rittz Puts the Fun in Dysfunctional Love on “Love Me” (Listen)

Posted by Nathan S. on 04/24/12 | Filed under Rittz

While the casual fan may know Rittz as that white guy with the huge hair, or one of the game’s best double-time flow practitioners, or an accomplished amateur birdwatcher (ok, I made that last one up), loyalists of the Slumerican emcee know that the man has some serious storytelling rap skills. Listen...

Insert Your “Soft White” Rapper Joke Here: Rittz’ “Cashin Out (Speedmix)” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 04/11/12 | Filed under Downloads, Rittz

So if you're dumb enough to take Rittz' new "Cashin Out" as a hard drug endorsement...you're probably too dumb to even be on RefinedHype in the first place. But if you're looking to hear Rittz yet again crush a track with his impeccable flow and lyrical honesty, you've come to the right place. Listen and download...

It's been a great motherfucking week for hip-hop. First Big K.R.I.T. drops off what's sure to be one of the free albums of the year with 4EvaNaDay, and then just two days later Rittz follows Krizza with "White Jesus: Revival", a new and improved version of his one-of-the-best-of-2011 "White Jesus" project.

Rittz, “Walking on Air” & The Sweet Science of Dope Raps (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 02/22/12 | Filed under Refined Picks, Downloads, Shane Eli, Rittz, RefinedPicks

This is some of that aforementioned "I can fucking rap, and I can fucking rap fast" shit you're legally obligated to turn the volume up on. New single "Walking on Air" takes a beat from RefinedHype regular Shane Eli that's part rock, part gospel and part trap house and gives some instrumental fuel to lose his goddamn mind. Listen and download...

#FuckLove At Least You Aren’t As Bitter As Rittz On “Sleep At Night” (Video)

Love can be great, but at the same time it can also make you do some crazy things like run up on your ex's birthday party just as they're about to get their pinata bashing on. And is it just me or does the look on Rittz' face from the 2:56 mark to around the 3:00 mark just scream, "I need a hug?" Poor rapper. See more...

I can't say "White Jesus" was slept on, but it was....let's got with napped on....so Rittz is kicking off the year with a re-release of "White Jesus" he's dubbing "Revival", which will feature the best of the original plus some brand new joints. (Essentially the "Trunk Muzik 0-60" model, except "Revival" will be free.) Listen and download...

Rittz’ “Wishin”: Not Just Another White Rapper With Giant Red Hair (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 11/17/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Videos, Rittz

I know what you're thinking - oh god, not another white rapper with giant red hair who can rap like a semi-auto and is signed to Yelawolf's Slumerican label, but that's not who Rittz is at all. He's actually white rapper with giant red hair who can rap like a semi-auto and is signed to Yelawolf's Slumerican label...who's far more lyrical than he gets credit for.
