Rich Brian (formally known as Rich Chigga) first came onto the music scene with his hit single "Dat $tick" in 2016. Since then, the fanny pack wearing Indonesian rapper has released his debut album Amen. The album was so well received that upon its release, Rich Brian became the first Asian artist to attain a number one position on the iTunes Hip-Hop chart. While his past has been controversial, his prominence as an Asian artist is remarkable considering how few Asian musicians perform in hip-hop. Here are some ways to learn more about him along with some of his critics. https://open.spotify.com/artist/2IDLDx25HU1nQMKde4n61a
