Rittz exclusives with BET and VIBE

Some of you may have caught this post on his Facebook earlier, but in preparation for his new album drop tomorrow (April 30th), Strange Music's new heavy-hitter Rittz recently sat down with BET Television for the first episode of their "Music Landing Exclusive" series. The whole video is about 7 minutes long and covers a lot of ground. Some of the things Rittz talks about is his introduction to Tech N9ne via Yelawolf, and his signing to Strange Music last August. He talks about his influences, including Outkast and Big Boi, and how he and the label manage their long distance relationship. Rittz talks about his new ablum 'The Life and Times of Jonny Valiant' and working with various artists, including Mike Poesner and Travis Barker as well as many others. You can peep the video here:

  Also for those of you who may have missed it, VIBE caught up with Rittz for a quick interview the other day. This one is only 3 minutes long and he briefly talks about his new album. A lot of what's said he already talks about in the BET interview, but he lists a few more influences, including Geto Boys and Eminem as well as a more personal look at what 'Life and Times' means to him.
