“‘TELEGRAM TITAN’ is about doing what you need to do by any means necessary,” Ricky shares on the project. “As a Black man, the system is already created for you to stay stagnant, so you must take risks in order to break that curse. I strongly believe this project will empower my people to move with purpose. I believe that if you want something different in life, you must do things differently and I touch base on that with every record. This album isn’t just music; it’s my story, my pressure, my truth, and my hustle.”

TELEGRAM TITAN explores a wide spectrum of themes, from his past experiences with drug dealing, street violence, and betrayal, to navigating the challenges of crime and pursuing dreams. The 12-track LP opens with “FLYEST N**** ALIVE,” a laid-back, flute-laced intro with smooth snares and an effortlessly lyrical delivery. The song leads into “DIP,” a sleek, hypnotic blend of airy synths and tight, bouncy drums followed by “MONEY RUN,” where Ricky speaks on the relentless pursuit of success and financial freedom. While “KILLKILLKILL!,” is an unfiltered anthem of resilience, “ANGELICAS” details the realities of the criminal underworld. Elsewhere on the project lies call-out song “RIDDLEMETHIS” featuring Sn8ke, breakup track “I'M LEAVING YOU” and the jazz-soaked introspective “JOEY CRACK.” The rapper’s message is clear: success isn’t handed to you; you have to chase it with focus and perseverance.

Ricky Bravo delivers dense rhymes, filled with vivid observations and experiences from life spent in East New York and Atlanta, while pairing bouncy productions with laid back flows. At the age of 14, he started producing beats for himself and his friends to freestyle on before basketball practice. As time went on, many locals were becoming attracted to Ricky’s drum-heavy production. The rapper later went on to produce for artists such as Icewear Vezzo, Lil Zay Osama, Don Q, and more. In 2022, Ricky released his debut single “5% Tint” produced by Billboard producer and close friend Meech Magic. The feedback on the record was immense, showing Ricky had a promising future as a musician and he hasn’t looked back since. With two On The Radar freestyles (which you can watch here and here), and over 1.6 million streams across platforms, Ricky Bravo is cementing himself as a rapper to watch.
