Hip Hop from Rich G

From the streets of New York rises a rap artist with a vision, Rich G. As well as a music artist, he’s a visionary who founded the Augmented label imprint, a reflection of his values – self-improvement, achievement, positivity and success. Augmented, the label he co-created with hip hop and EDM producer Suspenceful, is a multifaceted entity encompassing lifestyle, entertainment, apparel and action sports.

Rich G is a wordsmith, who focuses on lyricism delivered via intricate rhyme schemes, witty wordplay and punchlines that demand multiple listens to fully decipher. His influences span a diverse range of artists, including King Los, Royce Da 59, Immortal Technique, Chris Webby, Mac Miller, Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn, Tyler The Creator and J. Cole to name a few.

Now, Rich G unveils his debut album, aptly titled Get Rich Quick. Produced by Suspenceful, over the gritty boombap beats Rich G introduces himself to the world in a raw and unfiltered manner. The album comprises seven tracks, each a lyrical journey into Rich G’s world. “Pro Grammar” kicks things off with a haunting detuned piano leading the way. Soon, a pounding beat joins the fray, setting the stage for Rich G’s slick vocal flow. He takes the listener on a ride through his journey, touching on various professions before becoming a full-fledged artist.

“Still Moving” shifts the gears with a dark trap-style beat and an eerie instrumental backdrop driven by a thumping bassline. Here, Rich G’s razor-sharp lyricism takes flight as he navigates the intricate beat. “Money Soldiers” follows suit, offering insights into money-making tactics. The track contrasts bright instrumental flutters with a snapping beat, providing a sonic landscape for Rich G’s lyrical prowess to shine.

One of the album’s standout tracks, “Sycophants,” opens with an atmospheric cascade of vibrating notes and sonic tones. It erupts into a swung beat and features Rich G’s intense vocal delivery. The track provides a glimpse into Rich G’s psyche, inviting listeners to explore the artist’s inner world. The album concludes with “Sentimental (Freestyle),” a moody freestyle rap where Rich G lays down barbed lyricism aimed at the music industry itself.

Get Rich Quick is a play on words, symbolising both a brief introduction to Rich G and a concise project filled with financial tips and money-making topics. It’s also a window into Rich’s personal journey from poverty to prosperity. Recorded in Upstate New York at Suspenceful Recordings, the album is a superb artistic entrance that reveals the duo’s collaborative prowess, setting the stage for an exciting musical adventure worth following.
