The independent artist Russ surprises everyone with his insane new album “CHOMP 2“.

29 years old Russell James Vitale better known as “Russ” is an American rapper of Sicilian descent from Atlanta, Georgia.

Russ was born in Secaucus, New Jersey. He is a singer, songwriter, record producer, and hip-hop recording artist.

Before reaching mainstream success and topping the Billboard Hot 100, Russ dropped 11 projects before even joining SoundCloud and releasing one song per week for almost two years.

Working at an exhausting rate but was unable to build a fan base or business model that could sustain his ambition. Still that period ultimately would prove invaluable for what it would teach him about his craft.

On May 5 2017 Russ’s debut album “There’s Really a Wolf has been certified Gold, while his single “What They Want” got platinum status. It is one of the most commercially successful debut albums ever.

The bulk of Russ can be found on his Soundcloud page. His SoundCloud has grown to 869K+ subscribers and millions of spins.
