Philthy Rich was born on January 30, 1984 in Oakland, California. He grew up in a Bay Area slum named Seminary and frequently got into trouble. After being kicked out by his mother when he was in third grade, Rich lived with teachers, in homeless shelters, and occasionally jail cells. He wouldn’t get exposed to the rap game until the year 2006 when he told a member of his neighborhood that he really wanted to record music. The guy, in turn, reached out to Keak Da Sneak who informed Philthy that he’d have to give up the street life if he wanted to really pursue it. He started by giving 50 CDs to record stores to sell and eventually ended up giving them well over 1,000. In 2007, he embarked on a tour called “Stan Bizzness BG’s” with Mistah F.A.B., J. Stalin, Shady Nate, Beeda Weeda, Ray Ryda, Eddi Projex & Lil Al tha Gamer. The tour would end up being canceled due to Rich being arrested, but his burgeoning stardom had already begun to grow. He began releasing plenty of albums over the next couple of years, showing his dedication to the craft. In 2013, he signed a record deal with RBC Records & eOne Music. Since then, he’s continued to grow and work hard as he takes over the rap game.

Ben Thompson is a 19 Year Old Marketing Guru

Social media has become a big part of our daily lives, especially for Generation Z. Ben Thompson has found a way to make a living off of it.
Thompson started his own management business, managing influencers social media pages, including the likes of producer Rojas On The Beat, entrepreneur Ponce Deleioun, and musician Sean Kingston.
His social clout came from building up meme pages that had hundreds of thousands of followers. The content had a lot of range but he mastered sharing content from a young age.
Thompson explained that he was in a giant networking group on Twitter that shared each other’s content, or “retweet for retweet,” which is when you retweet another page’s post, and they retweet yours, a skill used to gain more traction from a wider variety of audiences, and therefore more followers.
Now at 19, he is able to work to help deliver strong marketing techniques to models, athletes, and other influencers. Without a big homie or help from the music scene, he is killing it.
“I’m on a person’s account for like 15 to 20 minutes a day, and I comment under hashtags related to their niche,” Thompson said. “For example, I do this one guy who has a food truck out in California, a wing truck, and I’ll go under #foods, #spicyhotfoods, or #wings, and I’ll comment on photos all day for him. And that builds his impressions, his analytics up, his profile views up, his likes and comments up. All that.”

Thompson has around 15-25 clients, and makes around $4,500 a month.
Not bad for a 19-year-old kid. Thompson said he hopes to someday make a brand for himself, be more than the person behind the scenes. He would also like to maybe start his own marketing company.
Thompson said he has also begun managing artists, including what he said is a well-known artist from Connecticut, and even helps promote record labels and colleges.
Look out for Ben Thompson to make some more moves in the upcoming year. The pandemic has not slowed him down and he looks to prove his worth in 2021.

Who is FlyBoi Rich?
FlyBoi Rich is your average “hood” kid telling his stories from what he has seen and been through. I try to keep it 100, I just ain’t got no filter when it comes to what I talk about. I try to bring lyrics and bangers together. From the Eastside of Detroit Glenwood, I came up with a big circle tryna win together. I’m a sports junkie so it’s heavy sports talk in
How did you get into the rap space?
I always played around with it. People around me started telling me I was nice and then I started taking it more
What’s your experience like in the Detroit rap scene?
It’s been cool. I’ve been around a few people that showed me some of the local areas early. It changed a lot as far as getting out face to face, it seems like social media platforms raise awareness a lot. Its all for the good, it’s bringing attention to the city I’m with it. Overall though, I’ve had a few good experiences and a few bad experiences from studio to venues but its all apart of the game
Detroit’s becoming one of the biggest cities in rap, destined to overthrow hubs like Chicago and Atlanta. Why do you think that the city is now getting its shine?
I believe for sure the new talent coming
Do you think that this shine is overdue? Why or why not?
Maybe so, because it started slowly picking up tho so can’t really say. The way artists are coming out now though I would say that it’s just the right time a few people either got deals or excelled higher last year than I seen in a while so I think the timing is right.
What was the recording process like for “New Jack City?”
New Jack City was inspired by the movie. I hopped in the studio one day after watching it. It kind of inspired the whole Black Movie Cinema Ep. Went in the studio got some of my “creative inspirations” together and I got to work. Writing process ain’t long for me, I go off whatever that I’m thinking about at the time. I usually try to get real witty with the words and
Why do you think fans identify with your music so much?
I think because it’s something good to the ears first and then the music
How do you think artists like Sada Baby and Tee
I think Grizz started it out crazy with that first day out once Vezzo was gone. He got out and jumped out with that joint it hit the whole year. Getting people like Bron to hop on the gram and spit your shit gotta be making noise for real. Sada, on the other hand, showed how we have fun with it. His grind and dropping track after track showed our dedication and grind they
Who is your favorite rapper from Detroit? Why? Gotta say either Royce or Em
What’s next for Fly Boi Rich?
Going all out its n
What’s your 2019 looking like?
So far
Who are you looking forward to collaborating with? Why?
Royce probably because of the lyrical challenge it will bring and Sada because the energy we a bring to a track together. I rock with both
Bring back some of these old neighborhoods I use to go to or live at before its too late and somebody from out of town capitalize on it. We let too my people come and take our town profits away so I wanna keep some stuff I remember alive and build a few small businesses and try to help a couple of neighborhoods out with something at least a job or a decent spot to hang or
