Meet Ricky Rue.

Ricky Rue is a Chicago native who started rhyming a year ago. His stage name started with Citysurb ending with Ricky Rue “for now.” Knowing Rue from a personal/business perspective doesn’t make a difference because he’s still the average joe. Ricky Rue wants to be known as a Trap/Drill artist in Chicago with nothing but “Turn Up” music. Question is, how are do you rap about turning up without living the “turn up” lifestyle? Does that make Ricky Rue a facade? Releasing his very first project entitled “Halfway Living“ was more like an introduction. Some of Rue’s influences are King Louie and Waka Flocka Flame. Rue has worked with Chicago artists like Sasha Go Hard, I.L. Will, D-Konn, and myself. He continues to build on his craft by booking more studio time, directing his videos, and working with many other artists. One is his goals are collaborating with Chicago’s own King Louie. Rue is also a party promoter and he’s very good at persuading someone to do something. Could be good or bad. What do you think of Ricky Rue?

Now’s the time to tell you..

I’m Loretta Mars! I am also a HipHop/Rap artist from Michigan residing here in Chicago. I’ve been here for almost 3 years attending college full time studying Audio Production at the Art Institute. This blog connects with me in everyday possible because I love knowing what’s going on and if you agree, then this could be beneficial to you as well. I love the foundation of music itself. I love how I feel when I’m inspired which brings me to this position. I get to write about people like myself and be aware. I find it fascinating discovering artist with unique art and talent. I plan to release a project I’ve been working on since I moved to Chicago entitled “#ForeverLoretta” containing nothing but soulful instrumentation and lyrical content. I don’t have an exact release date but It’s definitely this Fall of 2014! I also have a website you can check out www.loretta-mars.com for any updates about my music.
