Rite Raps

Mixing genres from Disco, Techno, House, Electro, Old school, to Rap. From a young age, Richard would often imitate commercials or sing songs to his family at gatherings. Inspired by those commercials/songs, at age 9, Rich would host his 3rd grade talent show. Being a major fan of Eminem, similar to 8 Mile, Richie would freestyle (battle rap) while waiting for his dinner to be cooked with the time of the microwave until it rang. On the unique looking date of 4/4/4, Rich's father taught him how to deejay. Disco was the first genre Richie began testing out on the traditional wheels of steel. The following year Richie then mixed music digitally on his computer and at this point memorized the facts, grooves of records, beats per minutes, etc. It was then clear that deejaying was a future career choice in his life. Known as "The Voice", this is nickname sampled from NJ's late great musician Frank Sinatra. Richie had his very first mix show in public at Old Bridge, NJ for a fundraiser on Sunday 3/20/10. Upon these experiences, his work was rewarded in early June by earning an academic award titled "Rudy", being several teachers compared Rich to a 90's movie role football player in Sean "Rudy" Astin. The following November, Richard came as close as one can to holding the highest score on Activision's DJ Hero 2 video game, coming in at a 2nd place ranking on the X Box 360 leaderboard. In July 2011, on Royal Carribean's 525th voyage cruise, he was victorious in 70's Disco trivia. Shades of last year, Rich once again won 70's disco trivia in 2012 on Royal Carribean's 575th voyage. Rich got his 3rd win in 2013 as well. You can tune into Rich's Live Music on BrookdaleStudentRadio.com.
