Rich Fish released his his new EP, Richuals last Friday. the 14th of May.This is his second EP following up 2020’s, Young Fella Lifestyle. He released his first single, ‘Spy Kids,’ in 2019. He most recently released new music in November 2020 when he dropped three singles, ‘In a Heap,’ ‘White Face’ and ‘Night Time.’

Richuals contains elements of trap, Old-school hip-hop, reggaeton and melodic drill. The beats for the four-song EP were supplied by YouTube producers. Rich Fish, whose real name is Richard Fish, recorded the vocals himself in his bedroom, and the tracks were mastered by Wheeler.

The rapper and singer made the EP after a previous EP was cancelled. “It was too personal and I didn’t want to release it at the time,” he said. A deadline provided by his label Róg Records motivated him to make the four tracks.

“The central theme is me and the moods I was in, making the songs,” said Rich Fish who has high hopes for the future.

“How I know I’ve made it is if I play the 3Arena, I used to work there and I just used to watch the stage thinking ‘I’ll be up there’,” said Richard.
