Tittsworth just released his debut artist album 12 Steps on Stretch Armstrong’s label (the guy that broke Wu Tang Clan) Plant Music, this has been a long time coming. I know I have been anticipating it and telling people about it for at least a year. It’s an album filled with Bmore-influenced bangers with appearances from The Federation, Pitbull, DJ Assault and Nina Sky among others. Here is a joint off the album with Pase Rock and Kid Sister who collab on “WTF”, a rap/club/blog special.

Nice work Titts.

I asked Titts if he had any interesting things happen while making the album, he told me this story about the reaction he got when he asked our boy Assault to remix a track for him.

Tittsworth:

Funny story about the dj assault track… so the song (off my debut album “12 steps”) is called “broke ass nigga” and it all started when kenny b and diamond k came thru my spot for the first time. before they showed up, i was kinda nervous about having some bmore legends come thru. i remember being like “yo, i don’t really have a very fancy mic or setup but we’ll make do?” their reply “don’t even worry about it, we’ll bring one.” man, what professionals i thought to myself. so finally they come thru and it’s about time to get busy and kenny hands me a plastic safeway bag with one of those plastic boom box mics with the cord all tangled. i mean here are cats that were on all time classics, with miss tony and all. it was at that time i was reminded what club music was and was NOT all about. i loved it.

So we hook it up, record a couple concepts, one of which becomes “broke ass nigga,” pretty self explanitory track about making fun of cats with no dough. later on stretch armstrong reaches out about doing an album. he and dom love the record and i get the idea of getting dj assault to do a remix since the comedy is a pretty close fit. man, the first time craig (assault) reached out, he was really heated!!! really on some “i can’t believe you want me to remix this.. what do you know about being black or being broke! im deeply offended and would never remix this.” a diplomatic email back and he quickly realized that i didn’t write this song, and that it was mainly my boy martin (jinxx) and kenny b, with some help from their boy frankie and our girl geina. all of them were black. me being half asian, i explained i was responsible for the beat and the recording. after that it was kool and the gang. craig’s version was so slammin, we had to put in on my debut album, “12 steps” and he’s co-headlining my album release party in dc. there are a few folks out there that really don’t get it and slammed me pretty hard for putting that song out. on the other hand, there are sites out there that REALLY don’t get it and have referred to the track as “broke ass nigger.” on an unrelated note, i was also surprised the track (correctly titled) was for sale on a very popular country and western music site.

If anything it’s all a reminder of how touchy race still is. i just hope cats dont get the wrong idea about me. i’m not loosing sleep though and i knew the risks when i decided to release it. people that know me, well, know better…

Thanks Jesse!
