Frank Ross (born December 23, 1977), better known by stage name Nitty is a pop rap artist from The Bronx.

His singles include "Nasty Girl" and "Hey Bitty," the former reaching #1 in sales in the United States in October 2004,^[1] and also debuted at #1 in Australia in 2005. The following album, Player's Paradise, was released in 2005.

In an interview with the former Australian music television show So Fresh, Nitty explained that he did not 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 singer, but as an entertainer, in the mold of all-around celebrities such as Will Smith. According to his website, "Nitty's sole mission is to make hip-hop fun again."

Since Player's Paradise Nitty has gone on to continue his career as a producer. His solo career, however, has not had any activity. In the recent film Sex Drive, his song Nasty Girl was on the soundtrack.
