Rich the Kid

Rich the Kid is one of those artists whose grind I genuinely respect more than the hits suggest. Coming out of Queens and building a name through a string of independent mixtapes before Interscope finally came calling tells me he understood the long game. The World Is Yours landing at number two on the Billboard 200 wasn't luck; it was the payoff of relentless self-promotion. What I appreciate most is his ear for a hook, and pulling Kendrick Lamar onto New Freezer showed real ambition. He's not always critically celebrated, but his instinct for catchy, energetic trap keeps me curious about where he goes next.
