Anthony Gonzales, better known as his stage name LitaRodi or simply Rodi, is an American rapper from Houston, Texas.
Life
Since LitaRodi and his twin brother Andrew were young, they were writing their own songs and creating beats with their fists on lunch room tables. Their cousin Mike Lopez took notice and saw the twin's potential quality sounding hip hop and he decided to help them out. In September of 2001, Anthony and Andrew watched their mother die in the hospital from a disease called Lupis. But the twin's stood in faith and stayed positive, knowing that their mother was in heaven. Seven months down the road, Anthony was shaken by more bad news. On March 29th 2002, which was “Good Friday”, Anthony recieved a devastating phone call. His twin brother Andrew was killed in an alcohol-related accident, his vehicle flipped, he went out from the vehicle, and it landed on him. This time it was hard for him to stay positive. He decided to give up on being positive, and became a gangster rapper, he didn't want to be known as a studio gangster though. He wanted to be known as a real gangster rapper who did what he rapped about. In 2005 LitaRodi held the second spot one of the top Hip Hop stations in Corpus Christi Texas. He also held the number one spot on a station in Austin Texas. He was awarded “The Best Up and Coming Latin Rapper In Texas”, which was given to him at the 2005 Texas Latin Rap Awards. In 2006 while LitaRodi was working on gaining more popularity in the music industry, he was doing drugs and making irresponsible decisions which led to him having a heart attack in the back his friend's car after leaving the studio one night. On Friday night on September 22, 2006, memories of his life was flashing before his eyes. He spent 4 days in the Intensive Care Unit of St. Josephs Hospital in downtown Houston Texas. His dad brought a pastor to speak to him about God. He realized that God was trying to get his attention and that the choice of life or death was before him. He decided to choose life and stop running from God. He surrendered his life to Jesus Christ. He decided to use his talents of rapping and making beats to help inspire and encourage people, and to lead them by the example he lives and writes in his lyrics to follow and surrender their lives to Jesus Christ as well. LitaRodi started rapping in schools, churches, prisons, and community events to impact lives for the better. To help influence youth, and people of all ages with positive messages in his music such as saying no to drugs, saying yes to God, and saying yes to Jesus.
