Though Rich Homie Quan died tragically in 2024, the music has continued at a steady clip, keeping the Atlanta legend’s name at the forefront of rap in the years following his departure. The first posthumous LP, Forever Goin In, arrived in 2024, before Legacy of Hits contextualized his career in 2025. In 2026, his family unveiled GIA: Going in Afterlife, a new collection of previously unreleased tracks that continue Quan’s mission of cooking up melodically exhilarating rap hits. There’s “Go to War,” which is built around a melancholic piano melody and a vocal delivery from Quan that he pioneered during his impactful collaborations with Young Thug. The poignant “Still Rich Homie” almost sounds as if it was written from the afterlife, with a haunted vocal choir highlighting the rapper’s dispatch about running it up for his children and having too many songs on his hard drive. That, ironically, has been one of the only balms in light of the rapper’s departure. Our Favorite Track: The freestyle aesthetics of “Automatic Swish.”
