Riley Writtens has released his latest 5 track EP, "FIF", available exclusively on Soundcloud, featuring production by June Blaze & El. The executive producers consist of Segnon Tiewul, Jahmel Reynolds of the visuals group Ren Revolution and multi-faceted artist, Latasha Alcindor.
Riley Writtens is a Brooklyn born rapper with an act for story telling in his rhymes, who pulled together this album in an attempt to “Plead The Fif.” Having lost all of his rhymes for the original pending project “7 Capital Cities To Heaven: Vol. 2” on his phone due to a taxi cab excursion, he put together this album as a PSA.
“I wanted "Her" to be ambiguous, btw. "Her" is hip hop. The relationship I have going on with her, stays between me and her. If anyone asks, I plead the 5th. That's what she does with me anyway, currently. Whatever material I had on the phone, to say to her or people in general, I lost in a cab. So whatever they were expecting me to say, I plead the 5th until next project. but if and when I have something of significance to say, Would She listen? Would YOU listen? This project is to test that.” – Riley Writtens.
FIF until further notice. - Dope Because We Said

Introducing Riley Writtens with "Rat Race". The single is the newest song about running the rat race and how to beat it on your terms. The latest single from Riley Writtens' upcoming EP. On "Rat Race", Riley Writts refers to the toxic competitiveness in the hip hop world as a "rat race". It also refers to a time when Riley himself was disillusioned, refocused on himself and keeping his creativity sharp. The darkness and gritness, or rawness of the instrumental is just something else. We get a lot of boom bap legend influence within the single, with flavors of joey bada$$ to nas, the new york feeling shows and is premiered within the single with confidence. Listen below for yourself. - deathordesire
The follow-up to Riley’s 2020 song “NY Aesthetic,” “NYA II” finds Riley and Qu’ality speaking on what it means to be an artist–and just a human–from New York. The song features a great deal about how Riley grew up in NYC and how it shaped him to be the person and artist he is today. I love the gritty boombap beat, but I love the lyricism even more. This is the 5th single off Riley’s upcoming After Twelve EP, following songs such as “Without Love.” Check out the song above and support dope music in all its forms. - SPEED ON THE BEAT
