You are all over the album but specifically credited as a feature on “Fuck Cancer.” Why that one? Every session, he laughs, He’s funny…he thinks he’s a comedian. Is there a particular session that stands out?Įvery single one. He’s just the easiest person on earth to work with. Although it will be OK for him to, because it’s his music that he wants the sound a certain way and I don’t want to overshine it. I’ve never seen him get aggravated with me. If he likes it, he’ll keep it, if he likes some of it he’ll keep some of it. When we first get in there, I listen to it and he says, “this is what I’m thinking about,” but he’ll just let me go in there and sing it whichever way I want to sing it. He just lets me do what I’m comfortable doing whatever, wherever. You provide vocals for the hooks as well as during the verses. He within himself and is comfortable with himself he doesn’t feel like he has to sound like other people. With Rittz, I’m so grateful his music is different he doesn’t sound like everybody else. Although you still have to feel it, it’s a totally different feel. When you are singing hooks for a rapper, the terminology is different and the feeling that you have to have when you sing is totally different. R&B, for me, when I sing, is like love songs and ballads. There are some falsetto and some things that might be poppy. So, for me, when I’m singing R&B versus when I’m singing a hook. Obviously, you are well-versed in singing on R&B songs, but is it different singing with Rittz because he is a rapper? So he uses my insight, but a lot of the things I hear are dope already he’s so creative. I always say “you really don’t need me” but he’ll fight me for that he’ll cuss me out. He always says he’s not a singer even though he really is. He’ll run it by me and say, “I wanted to put this here, this is the kind of feel that I want” but he wants my opinion on it and asks me to critique it a little because I am a singer. Normally, he always has something in his head. How do your studio sessions with him work now, since you’ve been working together for so long? Do you just go in and do your thing? It was his life speaking through the music. I’ve always felt like his music was more than just the normal music that you hear on the radio.
I’m an R&B artist and I love R&B also but I have always been a fan of him. So when I first heard a lot of his stuff I really liked it. When I heard the music….first off, you know, I’m from Arkansas, so when I moved to Georgia, the music was totally different, but I knew who a lot of his influences were Georgia rappers like Outkast. Well, when I first met him he was really chill and laid back. What were your first impressions of him as an artist? We worked on albums like 77O and After Morning, it was a little mixtape that came out a long time ago. Our first recording…it had to be…probably 2001. We’ve been linked together for a really long time. We’ve always stayed connected. He was doing music out of the basement or a room in the garage. I met him through a mutual friend that we had when I worked for Wal-Mart. How did you originally get linked up with Rittz?
