A teenager born with a stutter has overcome the odds to fulfil his childhood dream beating his speech impediment - by becoming a RAPPER. Ritchie Jones, who goes by his rap name Kitch, struggled for years and faced off playground bullies to overcome his speech impediment - before learning it miraculously disappears whenever he raps. The 19-year-old says there were periods where he couldn't say a single word. Unable to express himself verbally, Kitch says he would rap to Eminem songs in his bedroom - and was stunned when his stammer disappeared.
