Rich the Kid spent a considerable amount of time turning momentum from the mixtape circuit into a catalog that cuts across labels, regions, and eras of rap. Born in Queens and raised in College Park, Georgia, he came up under the influence of both New York legends and Southern heavyweights before stepping out with early projects like Been About the Benjamins and the Streets On Lock series with Migos. As his profile grew, he launched Rich Forever Music, a label home that helped platform artists like Famous Dex and Jay Critch while solidifying his own presence in Atlanta’s rap ecosystem.
His mainstream breakthrough arrived after signing with Interscope Records and releasing his debut studio album, The World Is Yours. The project’s success on the Billboard 200 opened the door to multiple follow-up albums, collaborative mixtapes with YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Lil Wayne, and a string of high-visibility features with artists across trap, melodic rap, and beyond.
