Rittz Drops New Single “Ghost Story”

Georgia fire spitter Rittz is getting ready to head out on the road with Tech N9ne for his Independent Powerhouse Tour 2016. But before they kick it off in Tulsa, OK on March 30, Rittz comes bearing gifts in the form of his new track “Ghost Story.”

The lead single from his highly anticipated third album Top of the Line finds Rittz annihilating invisible ghostly competitors, who can’t even come close to his skill. “If you don't start shit, there won't be none/Cause I don't really need no reason/To be the one responsible for your extinction/Cause when it comes to competition, I don't see none/They all went ghost on me/Ain't nobody coming close to me/It's like a goddamn ghost story,” the Strange Music MC rhymes on the hook of the Kato-produced track.

Earlier this month he revealed the vintage '80s film-inspired album cover exclusively on XXL. His third effort serves as the follow-up to 2014's Next to Nothing, and the speedy Gwinnett County rhymer spoke in 2015 about Strange Music's precise focus on timing and setting the bar high. "With Strange, your album’s gotta come out when it’s marketable and around every other artist…I’m just really going to try and rap my ass off on there and show you why I’m top of the line,” Rittz said.

Top of the Line LP drops on May 6. In the meantime catch Rittz on the 57-stop Independent Powerhouse Tour 2016 alongside labelmates Krizz Kalico and ¡Mayday! Peep the tour dates below.
