North Sacramento’s very own Chito Rana$ is California’s next bi-lingual superstar. The Howe Park native, grew up in a household listening to Mexican Regional music because of his parents, but later discovered hip-hop and combined his influences to create his own unique style. Chito has been rapping and releasing mixtapes since he was a teenager, but up until 2019 he was only half-heartedly taking rap seriously. That was until his popularity began to grow rapidly thanks to viral songs like “Cuerno De Chivo”, “Patrullando”, and “North Sac Baby”. His fortunes would change pretty quickly after, however in that same year he was arrested for selling fellow Sacramento artist Bris a firearm. He would go on to serve roughly 4 years in different prisons throughout California, but while he was incarcerated his fame grew exponentially thanks to his music resurfacing on Tik-Tok and his Spanglish style becoming much more appetizing in mainstream culture by 2023. Chito would finally be released from prison and hit the ground running with his latest hit “All The Smoke” which reached over a million views in its first 2 weeks of release. The day he was released from prison, the self proclaimed Dopest Mexican partnered with independent powerhouse label OTR Records to take his career to the next level. Less than 30 days after that signing, OTR and Chito signed a multiple project, joint venture deal with Signal Records/Columbia Records.
