Nitty (born Frank Ross on December 23rd, 1977) is a Pop-rap artist from Bronx, New York who started his debut album in 2004.

Recent singles include "Nasty Girl" and "Hey Bitty," the former reaching #1 in sales in the U.S. in 2004, and also debuted at #1 in Australia in 2005. His album is called Player's Paradise. He also works with Bad Boy Entertainment as a producer for some of their songs and music videos.

In an interview with an Australian music video show (So Fresh on Channel 9), Nitty explained that he didn't want to jump into rap as a mean, edgy type of rapper that is the current trend, but more of a nice guy rapper, with lighthearted songs and videos. He calls this style "playboy rap."

Nitty wants to be seen as not only a rapper, but as an entertainer, in the mold of all-around celebrities such as Will Smith. According to his Web site, "Nitty's sole mission is to make hip-hop fun again." Nitty's lyrics are unusual in that they do not feature profanity.
