RTS is a strictly Hip Hop band that intends to blow away fans with their lyrics and songs. With their new debut album, “Relentless” it would seem that they are determined to show the world their music. Whether it’s rapping professionally or just spitting bars with mates, RTS know how to rap. The band (Chadney, Paul, Chris, Anthony and Solomon) are aiming to go beyond what they thought possible. “Day to day life becomes part of a chore eventually, we wanted to make a change so we can transform our lives”, commented Chadney. The group have been together for an interesting number of years and they have been good friends since secondary school which helps them work together as a team. The group do also have a lot of hobbies which include playing basketball, chilling out, and for Chris beat boxing. He said “I still need to chill out and take a break sometimes. My band loves to have a laugh and muck about just like normal people would and it helps keep us tight and in sync with each other. Although, if there is work to be done then we chip in and get it done” The group play the key musical instruments needed to make a band successful like the guitar, bass and drums.

RTS is a strictly Hip Hop band that intends to blow away fans with their lyrics and songs. With their new debut album, “Relentless” it would seem that they are determined to show the world their music.

Whether it’s rapping professionally or just spitting bars with mates, RTS know how to rap. The band (Chadney, Paul, Chris, Anthony and Solomon) are aiming to go beyond what they thought possible. “Day to day life becomes part of a chore eventually, we wanted to make a change so we can transform our lives”, commented Chadney.

The group have been together for an interesting number of years and they have been good friends since secondary school which helps them work together as a team.

The group do also have a lot of hobbies which include playing basketball, chilling out, and for Chris beat boxing. He said “I still need to chill out and take a break sometimes. My band loves to have a laugh and muck about just like normal people would and it helps keep us tight and in sync with each other. Although, if there is work to be done then we chip in and get it done” The group play the key musical instruments needed to make a band successful like the guitar, bass and drums. And they love to play around and think of new background tunes; a probable reason why they’re doing so well! It is highly apparent that at the rate they are going they may well be the next music group to hit the charts.

With rapping for a number of years they wanted to broaden their horizons so they recruited Emily Chang, a dedicated RnB singer and a part time member of the band.
