Comebacks are hatched and fail to achieve the intended effect. This stuff happens every day in rap, as in every other genre of popular music, but somehow none of the existing evidence fully describes what's happened to Rich Homie Quan. Call it decline in popularity, a contractual snafu, or an all-out disappearance, but however you slice it, RHQ isn't where we thought he'd be when projecting his future back in or ' When I spoke with Quan last April , there still seemed to be a window of opportunity— a fast-closing one, but an opportunity all the same.
He'd just weathered a drawn-out contract dispute with Think It's a Game, the independent label he'd signed to at the beginning of his career, during which he wan't able to release new music. That explained why he went from releasing five projects between September and November , to zero between December '15 and March ' Two months before we spoke, Quan announced that he'd inked a new deal with Motown, who quickly released his Back to Basics EP, the first new Quan project in 18 months.
At the time, it seemed like his debut album, Rich as in Spirit , was all-systems-go for a summer release. Since we spoke though, there hasn't been a peep about it. We've gotten some singles in the past few months, most recently "Changed," but it seems like Quan is once again stuck in a holding pattern. This time it's one he knows he can't afford.
Hopefully I don't go through no more legal stuff. Back to the Basics was filled with preemptive retorts to questions about Quan's absence, calling out fans that had "turned their backs" on him, claiming he was "meditating" rather than sleeping or dead, and opening single "Replay" with a line "I'm so content with the person I am" that seemed to be Quan's way of reassuring fans that he was fine, really. If you ever think I was falling off Oversized boasts of wealth follow, but the hook is yet another clear attempt to right Quan's narrative, the message being that "Ain't shit changed" since he was scoring Billboard hits and landing on XXL's Freshman list.
If these desperate messages accompanied music that marked a severe drop-off in quality, that'd be one thing, but both Back to the Basics and "Changed" hang with the best of Quan's prime-era material. You could argue that he hasn't done much to update his sound, but apart from hitting the trend of melodic trap in its stride, Quan's never been reliant on sounding fresh or cutting-edge.
Released in between Quan's biggest solo hits, "Type of Way" and "Flex," the collaborative project is now viewed by many as his, and even in the eyes of some diehard Thug fans, Thug's peak, a joint release that actually feels organic and heartfelt, unlike so many other collab tapes. Thug's obviously a one-of-a-kind talent and a restlessly creative artist, but Quan's more straightforward approach lends a soulful vibe that Thug rarely achieved at that point in his career.
The actual tour that the tape hyped up never happened, and Quan and Thug were soon seen firing shots at each other. There was a brief moment of hope last spring, when Quan told me that they were on "good terms" and then weeks later, Thug shared a snippet that featured Quan's voice, but it was short-lived. Quan soon clarified that they weren't on speaking terms , and the full version of that track never surfaced. Suffice it to say that a new collaboration between the two would have a much bigger impact on Quan than Thug, who recently scored his first 1 single as a featured artist.
It's never like that slot as Thugger's sidekick was Quan's only path to stardom, though. He was previously signed to labels T. Entertainment and Motown , and is an independent artist as of Quan experienced commercial success with the single " Type of Way " which peaked at number 50 on the Billboard Hot , and the single " Flex Ooh, Ooh, Ooh " peaking at number In school, Lamar had a particular interest in reading.

Music was just a hobby at first. I never saw myself being on stage and rocking out shows. After I got out of jail, I started to take it more serious and that's when my dream came true", he said in an interview with XXL. In , Lamar's song "Differences" was released as the first single from his mixtape Still Going In.
