Rich Brian Essentials

Rich Brian may have been born in Jakarta, but he sounds like he grew up on the block with the whole Odd Future gang. The rapper was a viral social media star at 11 years old, then moved into hip-hop five years later. His 2016 cut "Dat $tick" clicked with rap fans around the world—the tune's bleak, warped beat, punchy cadences and dark rhymes tapped into the same zeitgeist that made Tyler, the Creator an anti-hero superstar. Singles like "Gospel", featuring the controversial XXXTENTACION, were intense peeks into what was to come: Rich Brian's official debut album, 2018's Amen.
