Last week, I had no clue who Tommy Richman is. Odds are, if you’re reading this, neither did you. Today, his name is practically inescapable for music fans on social media, who are being told his new song “Million Dollar Baby” is on-pace for a top-ten Hot 100 debut next week (this is likely premature, but not unimpressive in itself). So, who is Tommy Richman and why is “Million Dollar Baby” suddenly everywhere you look (including further down in this post)?

Tommy Richman is a Virginia-based artist whose first big credit was on Brent Faiyaz’s Larger Than Life track “Upset” alongside FELIX. Last August, Billboard reported he was signed to Faiyaz’s label, Iso Supremacy, a joint venture with PULSE Records, and he joined Faiyaz on his 2023 F*ck The World, It’s A Wasteland Tour. Since then, he’s release an EP, The Rush and a double single, Soulcrusher, but the snippet of “Million Dollar Baby” he teased online caught fire, likely contributing to its explosive debut.

In an August interview with Miami New Times, Richman humbly expressed his gratitude for his newfound success, saying, “When I would work in my mother’s basement for hours on tracks, and she’d be telling me to get a real job like most moms, I’d be like, ‘No, no, no, it’s gonna work out.’ And now, to be recognized by other hardworking people, I’m just very grateful, and it definitely inspires me to keep going.”

Tommy Richman is on the cusp of an absolute blow-up, and one of the leading factors behind that is his brand-new single, “MILLION DOLLAR BABY.” Moreover, it’s a very creative blend of classic Southern trap stylings and more light and poppy vocal performances and melodic leads. In the case of this particular track, it comments on the slow but steady build-up that the DMV native has experienced over the past few years, which finally seem to have gotten to a boiling point. We’ve previously covered the dual single release of “SOULCRUSHER” and “WHAT DO U LIKE,” plus his appearance on Brent Faiyaz’s recent album, Larger Than Life.

Furthermore, Tommy Richman seems poised to keep expanding on this unique style, and will surely find new ways to tinker with it, capitalize on its best elements, and continue to expand outside of it. We don’t want to put him in a box, but this is definitely a wave that he could ride with ease given the catchy, loose, and above all fun feeling that “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” will give you. Thanks to some occasional and subtle cowbell hits, the sharp snares and hi-hats, and the funky bass patterns, this song is able to make something sound pretty hard and quite sophisticated at the same time. It’s an odd mix that ultimately works to its cheeky benefit, especially with added wailing synths, a very simple lead melody, high-pitched vocals, and background vocal samples.

No matter what happens, he cannot come between us again,

While we specialize in covering artists that in hip-hop and R&B, it is always a fun time covering talents that blur the lines between the two. Case and point, Tommy Richman. He is a resident of Virginia and he really is a unique case. However, he embraces the fact that he does not pigeonhole himself to one genre. In a chat with Lyrical Lemonade, he explains how he likes to create music. “Honestly man, I just try to make cool s*** for people but more so for me. It’s not about the gimmicks or cliches for me.”

Tommy continues, “I wanna make stuff that’s palatable and listenable but also just s*** I like and am interested in.” That is when the interviewer dug a little deeper and questioned him about how he wants the listener to feel. “I personally think this is a silly question. I don’t really care what people think about it. People can feel however they want – if they think it’s cool then great and if they don’t, f*** it!”

Listen To “GHOULS N GHOSTS” By Tommy Richman, Paco, & Jonah Roy

The multi-talent goes on, “I make the music that I feel and connect with and if it connects with someone else, then great.” That is the case for his new song “GHOULS N GHOSTS” with a feature from Paco and production from Jonah Roy. It seems its connecting with listeners as each performer fits nicely over the Luigi’s Mansion-esque beat. The song has a similar melody that you might hear on a Brent Faiyaz song. Which makes sense considering Tommy had some placements on his recent LP.
