When we last heard from Rittz in March, he was getting started on his new album while hanging out with Killer Mike and Big Boi at Stankonia Studios. ..no big deal.

Since returning from a ten show run in late May it’s been all quiet on the Southern front as he’s been hunkered down writing and recording his new album.

Though he isn’t ready to speak on it quite yet, we’ve been stalking him on Instagram where he’s been providing little glimpses into the creation of his new album. Here are some highlights.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😁 Just because I’m saying I have a deadline doesn’t mean my album is being rushed or compromised. It is my job to have my album written and complete in a time frame to start recording it and that deadline is in 11 days from now. I’m REALLY excited and happy with how it’s turning out. I have a process and this is how I’ve done since I’ve had deadlines and this shit is DOPE!!!! Title and release date coming soon #RITTZBITCH #STRANGEMUSIC #CNT #FAMILY

My face right now knowing I just murdered my new ALBUM!!!

From the snippets, and the people he’s brought into the studio–like Corbin King who previously contributed to Next to Nothing and Top Of The Line– Rittz’ album is shaping up nicely. Although, considering he’s already shooting cover art and mixing the album, it may already be past “shaping up.”

While we still have no information about a tracklist, guest features,  a title or a release day, it seems like the clear picture isn’t too far off.

Stay Tuned.
