Discover the Secrets of Rich The Kid’s ‘Carnival’ and Get Ready for His Epic New Album ‘Life’s a Gamble’ with Magic Phone!
Rapper Rich The Kid isn’t much of a blackjack player, but he definitely believes that every decision in life is a gamble. This mantra serves as the title of his upcoming LP, ‘Life’s a Gamble’.
Rich bet on himself by taking a flight to Saudi Arabia for the first time last year to meet up with Ye and Ty Dolla $ign, where the origins of the hit song “Carnival” began to take shape. He cooked up the catchy chorus and his verse in just 15 to 20 minutes. The track eventually landed in Kanye’s hands, who turned it into a stadium anthem along with contributions from Ty Dolla $ign and Playboi Carti.
“Carnival” quickly became a fan-favorite and rose to the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Rich The Kid his first No. 1 hit. After facing setbacks like being dropped by his label, this success was truly a full-circle moment for the rapper.
As he gears up to release ‘Life’s a Gamble,’ his first solo album since 2020, Rich continues to work with Ye and Ty Dolla $ign, who will serve as executive producers on the project. The lead single “Bandman” is set to drop on May 10, with more tracks like “Gimme a Minute” featuring Peso Pluma and another surprise guest waiting in the wings.
With a star-studded lineup including Ye, Ty Dolla $ign, Chief Keef, BIA, and Migos rappers Quavo, Offset, and even a posthumous contribution from Takeoff, ‘Life’s a Gamble’ is set to make a splash when it arrives in June.
During a recent interview, Rich The Kid spoke about the inspiration behind the album’s title, his collaboration with Ye and Ty Dolla $ign, and the magic phone that connected him with Frank Ocean. He also touched on the current state of rap and the competitive spirit that drives the industry forward.
Reflecting on his journey from being an independent artist to scoring his first No. 1 hit, Rich remains focused on honing his craft and making music that resonates with his fans. With ‘Life’s a Gamble’ on the horizon, the rapper is poised to continue his winning streak and solidify his status as a rising star in the music industry.
