More collaborations followed, and so did two mixtapes, 2011's White Jesus and 2012's White Jesus: Revival. Soured by the experience and on the verge of giving up rap entirely, Rittz was recruited by Yelawolf to guest on "Box Chevy" from the 2010 album Trunk Musik 0-60. With a speedy, sharp tongue and dexterous rhymes, Rittz had a few close calls in the music industry, winning a battle contest on Hot 107.9 and nearly following in the career path of Eminem, but unfortunately he was unable to lock down a record label signing due to disputes in management and contract deals. At the end of the decade, he branched out on his own, self-releasing 2019's Put a Crown on It on his label, Cli-N-Tel Entertainment.īorn Jonathan McCollum in Pennsylvania, he was raised in the northern Atlanta suburbs of Gwinnett County, Georgia.

Signing with Tech N9ne's Strange Music the following year, he issued a quartet of full-lengths with the label over the course of the 2010s. After some bumps at the start of his career threatened to derail him completely, he forged forth and eventually released his first effort, 2011's White Jesus. Southern rapper Rittz delivers lightning-speed bars with wit and a confrontational attitude similar to predecessors Eminem and Twista.
