Rich Homie Quan made his mainstream breakthrough in 2013 with “Type of Way” and YG’s “My Nigga,” though he gained traction in his hometown of Atlanta in 2008 with “Stay Down” featuring the Stack Money Boyz.
When Birdman oversaw the supergroup Rich Gang, Quan became a standout on songs like “Lifestyle” with Young Thug, with whom he’d made the majority of the 2014 mixtape Rich Gang: Tha Tour Pt. 1.
“I just want people to appreciate the music,” he said in an interview a day before his death, claiming he’d release the project before his Oct. 4 birthday. “The times we in, you play a song and that shit old in two days. When I get in the studio, I’m passionate about it, so I don’t want to drop music on deaf ears. I want to have marketing — I want to cross my T’s and dot my I’s.”
