The past couple years, Atlanta has been a major breeding source for musical talent. One of the most recent and exciting artist out the “A” goes by Russ.
According to Russ’ SoundCloud account he’s been posting songs for about a year, although he’s been doing music for about 10 years.
“I’ve been making beats for 10 years,” typed Russ in a e-mail. “Always had a love and curiosity for music. My grandfather taught me guitar at 14 and that kinda opened the door for me.”
Russ who makes all his own beats and produces his own songs has many inspirations, not just limited to music.
“My inspirations kinda just come from random things. It could be music, the weather, a girl, an experience. I just try to leave myself open to all possibilities,” he wrote.
One of his newest tracks that caught my eye is, ‘Losin Control,’ a song that in his own words is about how he treated his first girlfriend and the damage it caused when she found a good guy. Something most of us can relate to.
That is the thought process behind Russ’ music, he wants to make his experiences relatable.
“[I] Write about one of my personal experiences in a way everyone could relate to,” he wrote.
‘Losin Control’, which not only comes packed with dope lyrics but also features a catchy beat has over 800,000 playbacks on SoundCloud.

He also recently released a music video for the song:
Russ, has already been co-signed by fellow Atlanta rapper, Waka Flocka, who brought him out at an Atlanta show.
I see Russ blowing up and look forward to seeing his musical career blossom.
