Richard Ortiz (born February 1, 1992), known professionally as F1LTHY, is an American record producer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1] He is a co-founder of the rap collective Working on Dying and a producer for many rappers such as Playboi Carti and Lil Yachty,[2] [3] [4] and a member of the Opium record label.[5] [6] He is known for "crafting sounds as guttural and crunchy as his name suggests,"[7] and minimalist melodies.[8]
In 2012, Ortiz started beat-making, inspired by underground music culture at the time. His influences included SpaceGhostPurrp and Metro Zu.[9]
Working with local artists as well as his younger brother Oogie Mane, Ortiz co-founded the rap collective Working on Dying. Their breakthrough came in early 2014, after meeting Snob Mobb.
In 2020, Ortiz gained mainstream recognition for producing Playboi Carti’s Whole Lotta Red album, which peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 chart.
