Ritz and his group have been performing at First Fridays since the first event in 2005. The five members met their freshmen year and - realizing they shared a love of rapping - began TPX-5.
"We just randomly got together and did this rap song," Ritz said. "I rap for real, but this is what I do just for fun."
Alex Cruz, a junior audio production major and the second act to take the stage, also ran into Roberts his freshman year.
"After working with him the first year, it's kind of like I have to now," Cruz said.
Cruz started rapping in grade school.
"I actually started on it because I was trying to impress a girl," he said. "It didn't work, but I enjoyed doing it, and it kind of became a love of its own."
Roberts has only one concern about First Fridays - what will happen once he graduates in the spring of 2008.
"I hope it will keep going without me," Roberts said. "It would be great to have that kind of legacy."
Roberts said although there is some contention for the new host's position, he is sure there are several people who would be great in the position.
GTV taped the event and is expecting to air it within the next 10 days as part of a series on things to do in St. Louis.
