Rich Brian Reminds Listeners He's Still a Rapper in New EP 'Brightside'
The 88rising staple describes the project as a “mental note” of how fast he’s grown in the past year.
Rich Brian has surprise released a brand new EP entitled Brightside.
The four-track project features a sole guest appearance from 88rising labelmate Warren Hue. Brightside is Rich Brian’s love letter to rap and serves as a reminder to listeners that at his core, he is still very much a rapper. “while doing melodies are fun, I wanted to remind people that I still love to rap. It’s short, it’s not an album but I see it like a mental note of how the past year has accelerated my growing-up process as an artist & a person,” he shared in a statement.
Rich Brian’s last full-length release dates back to 2019’s The Sailor, which featured guest appearances from Joji, Bekon and RZA.
