Tommy Richman Will Tease His Next Era With The ‘Before The Desert’ Tour

July 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

With Maryland artist Tommy Richman experiencing a massive breakout thanks to his new singles, “Million Dollar Baby” and “Devil Is A Lie,” and with his debut album, Coyote, dropping this fall, there’s no better time for him to announce a tour to promote those projects. The Before The Desert tour announcement sees Richman taking the recently resurgent “mini-tour” route, announcing three shows in major cities, including Los Angeles, New York, and a hometown show in Washington, DC.

The burgeoning star, who is signed to Brent Faiyaz’s ISO Supremacy imprint, will launch the mini-tour in September, and depending on the turnout, will likely add dates or join a bigger artist on tour after the release of his album. Although fans outside those areas might feel left out, this is a smart strategy for the new star; although breakout artists have generated impressive streaming numbers in recent years, using those numbers to justify booking too many shows at bigger venues has backfired on many artists lately. It looks like we might be going back to the slow-cooked method of building artists’ buzz, which will probably prove more sustainable in the long term.

Pre-sale for the three shows will begin Thursday, August 1st at 10 am local time, while general sale starts Friday, August 2nd. You can find more info here.

09/10 — Union Stage @ Washington, D.C.

Tommy Richman Announces “Before The Desert” Live Show Dates, “Million Dollar Baby” Breaks Tik Tok Billboard Top 50 Chart Record

July 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tommy Richman has officially announced three live shows in support of his upcoming album, Coyote, coming this fall via ISO Supremacy/PULSE Records. The Before The Desert show run is set to kick off on September 10th in Tommy’s hometown area of the DMV at Washington D.C.’s Union Stage, followed by a show in New York City before wrapping up on September 18th in Los Angeles.

The new live dates announcement adds to what is already shaping out as a monumental year for Tommy following both his singles “DEVIL IS A LIE” and “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” charting on Billboard’s Hot 100. Earlier this month, Tommy released the official music video for his smash hit “MILLION DOLLAR BABY,” which recently surpassed 1 Billion global streams and broke a new record as the longest running #1 song on the Tik Tok Billboard Top 50 after holding the spot for 10 weeks in a row.

The upcoming shows in major markets will pave the way for a seminal album release, as Tommy will be previewing new music and playing his recent hits before launching the album set to mark a new era of his expansive career. Last week, Tommy was also announced as one of the first three independent artists to join this year’s YouTube Foundry Program cohort.

Tommy Richman Teases Another Incredible Song Snippet: Watch

July 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tommy Richman is poised to become the breakout R&B star of 2024. 4batz had the baton for a little bit, but Richman came out of nowhere with his smash hit “Million Dollar Baby.” The song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Tommy Richman recently went on The Good Sh*t Radio with Kal Banx, and gave fans a taste of what could potentially be his next single. The singer played an extended preview of the untitled song, and it sounds amazing.

Tommy Richman ran through some of his earlier songs on The Good Sh*t Radio. The DJ had to thrown on “Million Dollar Baby,” but the real revelation was the new song. Richman rides a slower tempo for a more reflective R&B cut. Whereas Richman’s breakout hit was aspirational, this one is about mistakes. “It’s been so long,” he sings. “Looking at my face, my eyes are a mess.” The singer goes on to realize what a “good thing” he squandered romantically. It’s right in the Brent Faiyaz, Bryson Tiller lane that Tommy Richman has found himself in. It does, however, have more of a funk bounce to it.

Tommy Richman’s Sophomore Album Is Dropping Soon

Tommy Richman has been dropping music since 2019, but the sonic transformation has been notable. His debut album, ALLIGATOR (2022), brandished more of a punk, rage aesthetic. “Million Dollar Baby” marked a notable shift towards more of a pop sound, and the singer hasn’t looked back. “Devil Is a Lie” was Richman’s follow up to his breakout single, and it similarly popped off. It sounded like the offspring of Nelly’s “Hot In Herre” and weirder, N.E.R.D. album cuts. It didn’t quite scale the Billboard heights of its predecessor, but it cracked the top 50 and was rapturously received by fans. Even outspoken haters like Funkmaster Flex liked the song.

Richman has confirmed that his second album, COYOTE, will be dropping soon. It’s safe to assume both singles, as well as the new snippet, will make the tracklist. When asked to describe his musical approach, the singer told Lyrical Lemonade that he wanted to make people happy. “Honestly man, I just try to make cool sh*t for people but more so for me,” he explained. “It’s not about the gimmicks or cliches for me. I wanna make stuff that’s palatable and listenable but also just shit I like and am interested in.” We’d say he’s doing a good job.

July 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tommy Richman has officially released his latest single, “DEVIL IS A LIE,” via ISO Supremacy/PULSE Recordings.

This track follows the phenomenal success of his breakthrough hit, “MILLION DOLLAR BABY,” which has been lauded by various music outlets as the song of the summer. “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” debuted at number 2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and climbed to number 1 on both Billboard’s Global 200 chart and TikTok Billboard Top 50. Additionally, it became the #1 Overall Streaming Track and #1 Audio Global Streaming Track across all genres. The single also achieved significant radio success, peaking at #2 on the Mediabase Top 40 list and the Rhythmic chart, and breaking into the top 15 on Urban radio, all within two months of its release.

“DEVIL IS A LIE” is already generating significant buzz and appears poised for a similar meteoric rise.

The new single showcases Tommy’s eclectic and playfully abrasive style, guided by an orchestral violin melody and ethereal synth chords.

Russ Praises Tommy Richman For Capitalizing On His Success

June 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tommy Richman is not wasting time. He struck it big with “Million Dollar Baby,” which climbed all the way to number two on the Billboard Hot 100. He then struck again with “Devil Is a Lie,” which has getting lots of positive response from fans. Richman didn’t stop there. The R&B singer announced his plans to drop his debut solo album, COYOTE, in the next few months. He’s proven he isn’t a one-hit wonder in record time, and industry veterans recognize it. Russ is one of them, and he’s impressed.

Russ noticed that Tommy Richman’s album is on the way, and gave the singer his flowers. He praised Richman for not taking the standard one-hit wonder route of milking a hit and dragging out the release until interest in the artist fades. It’s something fans have seen countless times over the years. And it’s something Russ has worked tirelessly to avoid in his career. “He’s moving with a sense of urgency,” the rapper tweeted. “Capitalizing on momentum. Unlike a lot of artists who catch 1 song and parade around for a year and then miss their moment. Kudos to him and his team.”

Russ Applauded Tommy Richman’s Work Ethic

Russ has valued work ethic above all else throughout his career. It’s what allowed him to find success as an independent artist. It’s also why he felt compelled to compliment Richman. Russ talked about the big part that momentum plays in an artist’s career during a 2018 interview with Forbes. “You can’t sit around waiting for someone to come along and help you out,” he asserted. “I was always focused on doing the work, and in turn, that attracted the right people. I’m a true believer that when you’re doing the work… the right people are going to be placed in your path at the right time.”

Funkmaster Flex was someone who failed to see Tommy Richman’s vision. He dismissed the singer upon hearing his breakout single on the radio. “Remember,” he told listeners. “If you’re someone that likes this song, you are a clown.” He dismissed “Million Dollar Baby” as a throwaway. He walked back his criticisms when he heard Richman’s second single, though. Funkmaster Flex tweeted about the premiere of “Devil Is a Lie” on Hot 97, and assured fans that he actually “liked” this song. If Richman can win over skeptics like Flex, and polarizing personalities like Russ, he’s going to have a long career.

Tommy Richman Drops Another Smash Hit With “Devil Is A Lie”

June 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tommy Richman has refined his sound. He’s been putting out music since 2019, but something clicked with “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” in April. The song skyrocketed to number two on the Billboard Hot 100, and put a lot of eyes on Richman to deliver a second hit. It’s a window that a lot of artists have fumbled over the years. We’re happy to report that Tommy Richman has delivered. The singer just dropped off a new single titled “Devil Is a Lie,” and it might even be better than his breakout hit.

Richman teased the song on TikTok a week prior to its release, and it drew comparisons to the Neptunes beats of the 2000s. This couldn’t be more true in the full version. “Devil Is a Lie” is the best kind of retro song, in that it captures the feeling of the 00s without trying too hard to recapture its sound. It reminds us of other artists, but it’s still, definitively, Tommy Richman. The dynamics between the chorus and the bridge is absurdly catchy, and the lyrics are playfully aligned with the instrumental. The singer doesn’t have much to say, but his vocals, and his stylish delivery, will make it easy to memorize each line. He’s also more audible than he was on “MILLION DOLLAR BABY.” A lot of songs aim to be summer playlist material, but “Devil Is a Lie” feels like the rare instance of a song succeeding in doing so.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Tommy Richman’s Latest Is A Stylish Throwback

Quotable Lyrics:

I did so much, you did it with me, and I’m not alone (Ah, ah, ah)
Since 2019, was dinners with me, I’ma set it in stone (Ah, ah, ah)
You come from a sunken place again (Ah, ah, ah)
You know the struggle, baby, can we be friends?

Tommy Richman’s incredibly impressive run on the Hot 100 is very much ongoing. This week the song is still hovering at number 3 on the Hot 100 after Eminem’s new single “Houdini” debuted at #2. They’re both being kept off the top spot by Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s crossover “I Had Some Help.” That country crossover cut took the top spot on the singles chart from Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss “Not Like Us.”
