Rich Boy - Pharoahs & Kings
Artist: Rich Boy
Producer: Charlie Red & KG
Album: Untitled Mixtape
Label: eOne
Featured back in July, Rich Boy‘s last single, To the Floor, was hailed by Booth readers as “ok,” “decent,” and “the definition of average.” Harsh. Well aware of the dangers of public indifference, the Mobile native’s set out to restore his artistic mojo through the time-tested strategy of feeding the streets fresh tunes – starting with inaugural mixtape leak Pharoahs & Kings. Here, a dark, lushly soulful arrangement by Charlie Red & KG (sampled from Eddie Holman’s Four Walls) sets the stage for rhymes considerably more complex than Rich Boy’s recent, liquor-and-booty-centric offerings. Viewing his dreams of fame and fortune through the lens of antiquity, the Southern mainstay laces the joint with vividly opulent (if occasionally anachronistic) images of his lavish lifestyle: “I’m at the palace with Cleopatra and Cinderella, and in the rain I open designer umbrellas..” Time for you to weigh in: has Rich Boy conquered listener apathy with this historical ode to high-rollerdom? If you think so, you’ll want to keep it locked to the Booth for the latest on his forthcoming street album, which has yet to receive a title or release date.

This is very nice from Rich Boy. He did great work in this. His flow is smooth and the energy is head banging. The production from Charlie Red & KG is a lil boring. But the chorus makes up for that a lil. This is a overall good song. In rotation for me.

Beat is fire and I ain't heard Rich Boy in a minute but if this type of shit is what he's gonna be coming with, I'ma be checkin for him more. The subject matter is still so so but his flow, confidence and the beat choice are nice.

What happened to Rich Boy? All that buzz and then nothing. I am not sure if this is an artist situation or a label situation, but either way its caused my interest in the Bama native to decrease. This is an OK mixtape record, but nothing that would excite me about his return. He has to be better, he is capable.

Rich Boy is potential. He is trying to follow current trends instead of setting them. He is an underrated lyricist, but wit him going so comercial hes quickly loosing an audience. This song is ok..again...he gotta stop droppin these mediocre ass tracks. I do like the beat and I am a fan so its in the rotation...i guess...

It's been a while since I've heard from, Rich Boy. And, listening to this track, definitely shows that he knows where he's suppose to be instead of being at...meaning, he knows what he needs and so he is willing to go through anything to get to that specific need...overall, a dope track. Especially, since I have not heard anything from him in a while. I give it a, 3 out of 5.
