Rich Brian drops off his new album titled The Sailor. The rapper delivers a 12 track music project with features from RZA, Bekon and Joji.
The Sailor touches on the progression of his own sound as he grows from a 17-year-old viral hit to a full-fledged artist along with his identity as an Indonesian-born and bred rapper, and while he has no plans to become the poster boy of Asian representation in hip-hop, Brian continues to bloom as a complex wordsmith with much more to say.
“On this album, I am writing about things that are really, really personal to me,” Brian told Complex last month. “I am just trying to be as vulnerable as possible. Production-wise, too, I’m collaborating a lot more versus me doing it all by myself. On this album, I’m learning to let things go a little bit, while not sacrificing my creative freedom.”
“I put everything into this album and I’m so excited for you guys to hear it,” Rich Brian wrote on Instagram. “Thank you for growing with me.”
2018 saw him work with Offset and 21 Savage, while also flexing his comedy skills alongside Joji in First We Feast’s cooking show Feast Mansion.
