”When I moved here, I was introduced to rap music. Atlanta’s booming bass and rap movement had traveled north on I-85 to get the entire metro area jumping.
The family moved from small-town Pennsylvania (Waynesburg) to the Atlanta outskirts when he was eight years old, and once Rittz got to junior high, his musical tastes evolved. The fact that their parents were heavily into rock and roll ensured that the kids were always around instruments or in studios. Born into a musical family, he, his twin sister and their brother had always been exposed to the inner workings of music. Raised in Gwinnett County, Rittz embodies the same level of irony and self-conflict as his hometown. The Northside, essentially, is in stark contradiction to itself. The county, more frequently being referred to as the Northside, boasts both million dollar homes on golf courses as well as drug hubs in neighborhoods riddled with gang activity. After closer observation though, it’s apparent that the suburbs of Gwinnett are the digs to many who don’t fit the cookie cutter, Stepford lifestyle. Furthest to the north of the metro area, sits Gwinnett County sprawling and well-populated by a mix of out-of-towners hoping to indulge in a slice of that oft-mentioned American Pie: a house in a subdivision with a yard for the kids. Peachtree Street (conspicuously void of actual peach trees) stretches up through several counties, changing its name a number of times, confusing the tourists and the transplants. The Atlanta metropolitan area stretches on for at least 30 miles beyond the Georgia Dome and the World of Coke.
