Richie B: A Diamond in the Rough
Richie B is a certified diamond in a world full of cubic zirconias. His love for music ignited in the early 2000s when his sister was diagnosed with cancer. Since then, Richie B has been on a lyrical mission, earning features in The Source, Flex We Trust, and Hip Hop Weekly early in his career.
Slowly becoming an underground icon in Connecticut’s rap scene, Richie B was nominated for Underground Rapper of the Year at the Independent Music Awards in 2015, where he narrowly missed out to Joyner Lucas. His impressive list of collaborations includes Tsu Surf, DNA, Arsonal, Reed Dollaz, Mistah F.A.B, S.Dot, Styles P, Cassidy, and more.
Despite being fatally shot three times in 2022, Richie B continues to make music, using his experience as a second chance at life. With keen wordplay and out-of-this-world punchlines, Richie B paints vivid pictures with his words. In an era where music seems to have lost this style of art, Richie B is determined to keep it alive.
