(Video) Ricci Bitti – Ooh Wooh
So, obviously, whoever is reading this should be very familiar with Jermaine Dupri’s The Rap Game. Co-produced by Queen Latifah, The Rap Game takes you on a journey with five young rappers and their managers as Jermaine Dupri searches for the next artist to sign to his label and home to artists Da Brat and Bow Wow, So So Def. This fourth season features a young lady with “Pop Sauce Swag” and bars to match – Ricci Bitti.
Born Lyric Chance Thomas and raised in Cobb County, Georgia, Ricci Bitti is anything but Itty Bitty in the music industry. This 14-year-old powerhouse is ready to take the music industry by storm and taking no prisoners! You may have recognized Ricci from Lifetime TV’s number one show, The Rap Game (prod. Jermaine Dupri and Queen Latifah), but #BittiSZN has always been in session!
Ricci Bitti’s love for music flows through her blood through the genetic manifestation of her family. With her father Darren B. Daryl as a label owner and music manager and Def Jam Records signee Miranda Brooke as her sister, Ricci was born into stardom from July 10th, 2003. “I love music,” explains Bitti, “I love being able to tell a story or paint pictures for people that make them feel a way. I just want to entertain!”
When she’s not spitting fire in the studio, Ricci Bitti is fulfilling another dream of hers – acting. Recently signing to BYSB Agency in Atlanta, Georgia, Ricci Bitti is actively auditioning for acting roles with hopes of one day becoming an actress, a model and a worldwide brand. However, her goals do not distract her from living her everyday life as a teen in Atlanta by hanging out with her friends and taking dance classes.
Ricci Bitti is in the process of dropping some more fire following the season finale of The Rap Game, but in the meantime, be sure to check out her recent music videos including her new single “Ooh Wooh”

(Video) Star2 x Seko – “Once in a While” @Star2Official
Thai refugee artists Star2 and Seko release “Once In A While”, the heartfelt new single and music video. Both born in the Mae La refugee camp in Thailand, the artists draw on their rich cultural heritage with the song almost entirely sung in the Ka-ren language and the music video filmed in Thailand.
“Once In A While” features poignant lyrics that reflect the deep emotions of longing and love, such as “My tears I secretly wipe them away by myself / I love you so much, so whatever you say is never wrong / I’ll chase after you over a hundred times”. Tugging at your heartstrings, the song is beautifully layered with rich harmonies, delicate piano notes, and a backdrop of female vocals that evoke a sense of connection that feels both intimate and distant. As both artists deliver their verses with raw, unfiltered emotion, the feeling of lost love is one that is never forgotten.
Refugee pop meets hip hop artist Star2 fled his refugee camp as a child when the Burmese Army destroyed their village and attacked them in the middle of the night. Faced with overwhelming heartache and loss growing up, Star2 found his solace in music. He has collaborated with the likes of Soulja Boy, $tupid Young, Mozzy, MBNel, Luh Kel, Lil Poppa, HoodTrophy Bino, YSN Flow, and MarMar Oso just to name a few. Now, Star2 is on a mission to elevate the next generation of Ka-ren and Asian Artists.
