How Did Rich The Kid Make His Money & Wealth?

Rich the Kid was born as Dimitri Leslie Roger on July 13^th 1992. He came from a family of Haitian descent and spent his early years in Queens, New York. He grew up speaking Haitian Creole fluently as his family mainly spoke that at home, and his knowledge of different languages allowed him to appreciate the lyrical skills of other rappers during his early years. Of course living in New York Rich The Kid grew up listening to classic East coast rappers such as Tupac, Jay Z, Notorious B.I.G., Naz and 50 Cent. His parents divorced when he was aged thirteen and he moved to Atlanta, Georgia with his mother and it was there that he began to be influenced by other rappers from the Atlanta rap scene, such as T.I. and Young Jeezy. He later revealed that he was highly influenced in his musical ambitions and direction by Young Jeezy’s 2005 debut album ‘Let’s Get It : Thug Motivation 101’. as well as T.I.’s ‘Trap Muzik’ from 2003, and those artists and other Southern rappers led him towards a more trap focused Southern style of rapping.

Rich The Kid was known at school for being a joker and he was often seen as a class clown, but he also got into a few spots of trouble. After school he found a job with the fast-food chain ‘Wendy’s’ but that didn’t last too long. In the words of Rich The Kid himself it lasted until his first Saturday, when the crowds of hungry customers quickly convinced him that working at the restaurant wasn’t likely to bring him too much job satisfaction, and fortunately for the World of rap music he gave up on the job and decided to concentrate on other interests instead.

Rich The Kid considered a career in basketball briefly but after his first studio session at the age of sixteen rapping became his main ambition for a future career. In 2010, rapping under the name ‘Black Boy da Kid’ he began releasing mix-tapes independently, beginning with ‘Next Batter Up’, followed by ‘Cut the Check’ and ‘Cut the Check 2’ in 2011 and 2012 respectively. His early efforts were well-received and in 2013 he collaborated with Migos on the first instalment of the ‘Streets on Lock’ mixtapes, which began to take his music to a whole new, and far bigger audience.

In 2013 Rich the Kid also released his debut solo mixtape, ‘Been About The Benjamins’, and after the release of ‘Streets on Lock’ later that year he began to become far better known in the hip hop community. ‘Streets on Lock 2’ came out at the end of 2013 and a third mix-tape in the series was released the following year. A few months later, in August 2014 Rich The Kid released his second solo mix-tape ‘Feels Good To Be Rich’, and by then his popularity had grown enough for him to be earning a good living from his music. ‘Feels Good To Be Rich’ featured several well-known artists, such as Riff Raff, Young Thug, Rockie Fresh, Yo Gotti and Kirko Bangz and was successful enough for him to release a single from the mixtape, ‘On My Way’ which featured Rowdy Rebel and Bobby Shmurda from GS9.

Rich The Kid has come from obscurity to a following of millions in just a few years, and apart from his well-recognized hard work and commitment to his music, it’s his ability to collaborate successfully with a wide range of artists that makes him stand out among the crowd. These attributes of the kid from Queens was never more obvious than in 2015 when he produced a huge body of work, beginning when he collaborated again with Migos on the ‘Still On Lock’ mixtape, before releasing a solo mixtape ‘Flexin’ On Purpose’ in August of that year. The ‘Flexin’ On Purpose’ project featured fourteen tracks and included tracks alongside Fetty Wap, Rich Homie Quan and Ty Dolla $ign. The fourth instalment of Streets on Lock was released, to it’s growing audience of fans who had been anxiously awaiting it, in October that year, and it contained twenty-seven tracks, but Rich the Kid still had plenty more to please fans with before the year was over.

On Thanksgiving day 2015 he released ‘Whip It’ in collaboration with fellow Atlanta rapper IloveMakonnen. The fourteen track album featured long-time associates Migos, as well as collaborations with Rome Fortune and T-Wayne among others. A nod to the Dabbin’ dance move that Migos had created and Rich the Kid had helped to make such a viral sensation came along on Christmas Eve 2015, with ‘Dabbin’ Fever’, a mixtape that featured Curren$y, Migos and Kodak Black, as well as hip-hop legend Wiz Khalifa on the title track.

Rich The Kid continued in 2016 to increase his already impressively large body of work, but as he continued to grow his fan base, he also took the wise business decision to launch his own record label, ‘Rich Forever Music’. He took on Toronto, Ontario based producer TheLabCook and signed up the Chicago based artist and emcee Famous Dex, followed quickly by the experimental Florida based artist J $Stash. The labels first release was a compilation mixtape entitled ‘Rich Forever Music: The Mixtape’ that featured fifteen tracks and his trademark collaborations, and in July 2016 ‘Rich Forever 2’ was released featuring collaborations between Rich The Kid and artists such as Wiz Khalifa, Lil Tachty, Young Thug and Playboi Carti, as well as Jaden Smith.

Probably Rich The Kid’s biggest financial gain came in mid 2016 when he signed a deal with 300 entertainment to link the two labels, while still maintaining full control over the Rich Forever label. The new deal left Rich The Kid with the power that a major label behind him gave, but also the freedom he do things his way, and although neither he or 300 entertainment were releasing figures, it’s likely that the deal with 300 entertainment boosted Rich the Kid’s personal wealth to over a million dollars in a single stroke, and his wealth is only likely to increase more in the future.

Rich the Kid is still only twenty four, and in just a few years he’s risen from underground rap obscurity to serious collaborations with well-known artists and control of his own big budget record label, but of course, now in 2018 he’s also built up a following of millions of fans who are eagerly awaiting the release of his next music project. Rich The Kid has over 200,000 followers on Soundcloud, with another 1.4 million following him on Instagram. His Twitter account, which is followed by almost half a million followers gives some insight into the commitment that he has to succeed and the drive that made this kid rich in such a short time. Even though now in May 2017 Rich the Kid is a millionaire he still shows his determination with tweets such as ‘No matter how hard the challenge you should never give up’, and ‘You gotta take advantage of every opportunity’, and as everyone who has worked with the hard-working rapper right now knows, Rich the Kid never gives up until he succeeds.
