Rich The Kid’s birthday bash saw the chart-topping rapper perform alongside Fenix Flexin, Bay Swag, Cash Cobain, Jay Critch, and Trampa Billione.
New York City has been bustling with celebrity events this month, from Taylor Swift’s wedding to Jay-Z’s Yankee Stadium shows, and even the upcoming FIFA World Cup finals. On Monday night, multi-platinum hitmaker Rich The Kid hosted a star-studded birthday celebration at New York City’s Amber Room.
Featuring electrifying sets from Fenix Flexin, Cash Cobain, Bay Swag, Jay Critch, and Trampa Billione, the night was packed with high-energy performances, crowd-favorite hits, and an unforgettable atmosphere that kept the celebration going well into the evening. DJ Ralphy Black and DJ Rod Evant were also there to curate the night’s soundtrack and keep the dance floor packed from start to finish.
Rich The Kid continues to build momentum following his appearance at Paris Men’s Fashion Week, where he attended Pharrell Williams’ highly anticipated Louis Vuitton show. He also recently released his vibrant, ‘80s-inspired single, “Calling My Line,” which draws inspiration from Blondie’s iconic hit, “Call Me.”
The accompanying music video blends nostalgic ‘80s-esque visuals, including vintage wired telephones and cinematic references, with the sleek luxury and high-fashion aesthetic synonymous with the rapper’s signature style. The result is a visually striking production that seamlessly fuses retro influences with modern rap culture, delivering a cocktail of timeless nostalgia and contemporary flair.
Born to Haitian parents in New York City, Rich The Kid was raised listening to Nas, Jay-Z, Biggie, and 50 Cent. With early musical influences from bands like Sublime, Green Day, and System of a Down, his musical instincts cast a wide net.
Across his career, Rich has collaborated with the likes of Migos, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Ty Dolla Sign, and Playboi Carti. In 2016, he founded Rich Forever Music, signing Famous Dex and Jay Critch and expanding his reach from artist to career architect.
His latest album, C’est La Vie, is a “global, multicultural project built through travel, personal evolution, and collaborations that span continents and sounds.” It’s the work of an artist who “has been everywhere, absorbed everything, and still has somewhere new to go.” The highly anticipated project is expected to drop before the end of July.
