Joe Cyrus
Pluto aka Joe Ritrievi began performing hip-hop at the age of 11, influenced by his home culture and a surging unrest amongst his peers due to their perceived status in the mind-controlled reality matrix. After hours of honing his craft, Pluto completed his solo debut "Initiation", in stores NOW. With production heavy-laden with high dissonance, mirroring his philosophy of the world today, Pluto's debut is the lyrical equivalent of precipitate evolution in hip-hop: something from nothing. With comparisons ranging from Canibus to Mr. Lif to Eminem and Common, the diversity of the project encompasses expansion, refuting limitation. Sip some ambience for yourself, and peep the tracks.
