Ro is still spittin’. Back with A Different Arrangement according to Ro Spit, the tireless emcee is fly once again – no Red bull needed. Today is the official release of Ro Spit’s second project within a six month time frame…

“Sometimes you gotta go left-field, right? Sometimes you gotta catch people off guard. And that’s kinda what this is about…” words from the project’s keynote speaker himself. Music connoisseurs should be very excited about the pairing of Mayer Hawthorne’s melodic production with Ro Spit’s shrewd lyricism. As a music artist Ro Spit has shown uncanny growth, which can be attributed to constant performances and being around some of the games most gifted and driven individuals. Some of the recent highlights of Ro Spit’s exploding music career include rocking one of the music industry’s hottest showcases, South By Southwest (SXSW), gracing collaborations with 95.5 FM’s well-known radio host Buda and Chicago’s premier concert organizer/Eighty81 affiliate Hustle Simmons.

The return of the Fly Emcee is upon us with a slightly different approach. Arriving June 8th is Ro Spit’s, A Different Arrangement. Ro Spit has been propelled by his widely played OH S#!T Project which elevated him from the pack of rappers without an identity to an artist with a heavy broadband following…

Artist inspiration can be channeled through many unexpected outlets; it forces them to take an angle that may not have been visible before. For Ro Spit, that inspiration arrived in the form of fellow Michigan representative Mayer Hawthorne and his Strange Arrangement. Understanding the notion that music never limits itself is a very liberating mindset. Ro acknowledges “I don’t have certain or specific things that inspire me. I just know when I feel it, and then just hit the gas.” Ro Spit made a transition from reverberating bass patterns to trumpets and cymbals, showing his diversity and musical dexterity. And he almost did it overnight. Ro quickly took his time and completed the project in less than a month, another ode to his voracious work ethic. The project cradles the listener and rocks them through unexpected twists and turns, going from juxtapose storylines to outright semi-automatic verses; or as rappers say – Bars!

This arrangement is comprised of the musical production from Mayer Hawthorne’s previous arrangement, as confusing as that sounds it makes perfect harmony. With no features and special guests, Ro Spit is the solitary emcee to finesse this delicate music. There are many superlatives that could be used to explain this outstanding work, but for now let’s just call it…Different.
