Unprofessional Professional

Leading up to his debut album 'No Guts, No Glory', Ricky has released an expansive mixtape, 'The Unprofessional Professional', to show just how many tricks he's got up his sleeve and give his fans a taste of what's in store for the future. The mixtape showcases a bright new talent, a lyricist with clever wordplay and catchy one-liners, with a knack for putting harrowing revelations of a rebellious kid from New Jersey to music. Moving with great ease between hard hitting bangers ('Hold Me Down'; 'Problem Child'; 'I Could Kill Sumbody'), playful ditties (Sexxx; She Wants My D!#k), stoner anthems (Amanda Bynes; A Whole Bowl), and uptempo jams (Moon & Stars; Ricky Muth#!**in' Rude), Ricky brings his unique punk rock attitude to every track. Guest appearances on this project include Drag-On, AR-AB, Compton Menace, Dark Lo, Glasses Malone, AceOutrageous, and more. The mixtape also features production by Grammy Award winning producers Cool & Dre, Grammy nominated producers Cardiak and Pop Wansel & Oak, as well as The Futuristiks, Brainwave and many more. Ricky has been making music and honing his live show for some time now. After a string of underground projects, he's continued to release multiple songs and videos which have been posted on several major hip hop websites. Born and raised in South Jersey, Ricky spent his youth driving his parents and teachers crazy. After being arrested twice the week of his high school graduation-a ceremony that his family members, doubting his ability to graduate, did not attend-Ricky found within himself a new determination to pursue his dream of making music and making his life significant. In 2012, Ricky decided to leave Jersey for sunny Southern Cali, where he quickly immersed himself in the local music scene. He formed relationships with rappers such as Compton Menace and Glasses Malone, and Grammy Award winning producer and Dr Dre protg, DJ Khalil, who produced multiple tracks on Ricky's debut. Ricky has also teamed up with his idol and rap icon, Scarface, to create the classic record, 'So Immature', which is featured on 'No Guts, No Glory'. Ricky recently recorded and shot a steamy video in Miami for the hard-hitting single, 'Stripper Ass, Model Face', which features a guest appearance from the illustrious rap superstar, Trina. The risque collaboration has already caught the attention of the press and public. Ricky's songwriting focuses on passion, truth to life, and enjoying himself in a manner that speaks equally to the hood as it does to the 'burbs.
