Rich The Kid has previewed a new song via his Instagram. Last year, the Queens, NY-born signed with RCA Records. According to The Kid, the deal was worth $40 million. At the time of signing in 2022, he released his single “Motion”. The song teased in his Instagram video is the first news of new music from The Kid since last year. No other information was given about a release date, but the video tease means the music can’t be far behind. Being that his latest studio album was released three years ago, we can likely expect an album announcement soon, as well.
Rich The Kid first caught the public’s attention in 2017 with his song “New Freezer,” which featured Kendrick Lamar. However, his rap career started much earlier than that. He released his first mixtape, Been About the Benjamins, in 2013. Since then, he has put out several hit albums, including his platinum debut record, The World Is Yours. The Kid has worked with many well-known rappers throughout his career, and his music is praised for its infectious rhythms and high energy. With his early success and distinctive approach, The Kid has established himself as a key player in the hip-hop scene.
The Comeback Kid
(@richthekid)It’s been a rough couple of years in a lot of ways for Rich The Kid. Since 2018, he has been involved in two robberies, both of which left him injured. The first incident took place at the home of his former partner, Tori Brixx. Armed men entered her home with the intention of robbing her, and when The Kid tried to stand up to them, he was badly beaten. In 2019, as he was leaving the studio, The Kid was shot and robbed. In 2021, he was arrested at LAX for carrying a loaded firearm in his luggage. Then, his close friend and Migos member, Takeoff was shot and killed last year. However, it seems no matter what happens, he always seems to land on his feet. Perhaps that’s why his Instagram profile calls him the comeback kid.
Rich The Kid turned a new page in his career when he signed with RCA, and fans likely have a lot to look forward to. In the Instagram post teasing his new song, he told fans to leave a Brazilian flag emoji if they wanted the song early. This was likely due to the lyrical references to Brazil that can be heard in the clip. The wall of Brazilian flag emojis flooding the comments tells you all you need to know about how his fans feel. Are you feeling the new song? Let us know in the comments.
