Artist Workshop

Rita J. officially steps into the hip-hop circle with her debut LP, Artist Workshop. After numerous cameo appearances on other ANI projects, Rita J. utilizes her first album as a chance to prove she also deserves the spotlight garnered by other female MCs. Along with showcasing her own skills on the microphone, Rita J. employs the talents of Black Spade, Guilty Simpson, Cap D, and Rashid Hadee to add to Artist Workshop's already polished sound. Standout tracks on Artist Workshop include the upbeat "No Regrets" produced by K-Kruz, "Listen" featuring Black Spade, the introspective cut "The Address," the edgier "Outlasted (feat. Guilty Simpson) and the less traditional "Inconspicuous."

Artist Workshop shows Rita J. cleverly walking the fine line of representing the strong successful woman without regressing to play the role of harlot or diva. It is without a doubt Rita J's Artist Workshop will leave true hip-hop listeners wanting to hear more from the awe-inspiring female MC. One listen just won't be enough.
