Following the release of “Krazy,” Atlanta rap star Rich Homie Quan drops “Risk Takers,” the second single from his fast-approaching project Family & Mula, out October 2022. The how-to-guide to making your dreams come true, released via Rich Homie Entertainment/Venice Music, was produced by Dun Deal and premiered with a live rendition on 4 Shooters Only’s performance video series From The Block. The official music video directed by MarCell JB and Darrien G will debut next week. The song drops as we approach the tenth anniversary of Still Going In. In honor of the mixtape that introduced the world to the melodic trap stylings of Rich Homie Quan, the multi-platinum-selling rapper will be in concert on September 27 at Atlanta’s Tabernacle stadium.
In a departure from his traditional sound, a Spanish guitar strums the first four notes of “Risk Takers,” setting the tone for what is part inspiration, part memoir. “You don’t know what it took to get here. A lot of praying, a lot of crying, what it took to get here,” raps Quan on the hook as he recounts how his success went from dream to reality. In a modern-day American dream triumph, Quan sings about the tenacity it took for him to achieve success. The song relays his resilient and persistent nature and that of any risk taker.
Fans of the chart-topping multi-platinum selling rapper won’t have to wait long for more new music. Family & Mula drops later this fall with more projects in the queue. Rich Homie Quan gained notoriety for infectious tracks, such as chart-topping hits “Type of Way” and “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh).” Amassing over 2.7 billion streams and 1 billion YouTube views throughout his career.
About Rich Homie Quan:
Rich Homie Quan carries on Atlanta’s tradition of innovation. Since his emergence in 2011, he has consistently sharpened a signature style marked by off-kilter bars and a magnetic melodic croon. Along the way, he has picked up multiple gold and platinum certifications, tallied billions of streams, and proudly represented his hometown worldwide. 2012 saw him unleash the classic mixtape Still Goin’ In—now celebrating its tenth anniversary. A year later, he reupped the project with Still Goin’ In (Reloaded). It yielded his first gold-certified smash “Type of Way,” cracking the Top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100. Meanwhile, Rolling Stone hailed it among the “Best Mixtapes of 2013.” His catalog expanded with the gold-certified “Walk Thru” as well as collaborations, including Lil Dicky’s double-platinum “$ave Dat Money” [feat. Fetty Wap & Rich Homie Quan], Yo Gotti’s platinum-certified “I Know” [feat. Rich Homie Quan], and gold-certified “Ride Out” [with Kid Ink, Tyga, Wale, & YG] for the FURIOUS 7: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. He also turned up with the double-platinum “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh),” vaulting into the Top 30 of the Hot 100 and even gracing Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s “Ultimate Ball-Out Playlist” on Apple Music. His 2018 full-length debut, Rich As In Spirit, bowed in the Top 20 of the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart. Pitchfork hailed the latter as “a triumph of willpower and talent, a detail-oriented collection with immaculate production that rightfully reestablishes his place in rap.” Taking the reins of his career as an independent creator and boss, he ignites another era with his 2022 project, Family & Mula, arriving on his birthday October 4, 2022 under a newly minted joint venture with Venice.
