Richie Rich "Town Bidness 2" Ft. Devin The Dude, Lil Jon... - By : Nima - August 16, 2011
Richie Rich is a man with a long history. Snoop Dogg once stated that he formed his 213 group and derived his rhyming style from being inspired by Rich's group 415 in the late 80's.
A few years later, he went on to be the first Bay Area act ever to be signed to Def Jam Records, culminating in the release of his critically acclaimed "Seasoned Veteran" album in 1996, which spawned the timeless classic "Do G's Get To Heaven".
With a world famous guest verse on The Luniz' remix to their multi-platinum hit "I Got 5 On It" ("Where you from? Oakland, smoking.") and guest appearances on 2Pac's two biggest albums "Me Against The World" and "All Eyez On Me", Richie Rich built his legacy as one of the pioneers of West Coast Hip-Hop.
After releasing five solo albums and two group albums, things went quiet around Double R for a few years. He made his return to the game in 2010 with the release of his "Town Bidness" album, which was warmly received by Rich's hungry fan base. On August 16th 2011, Richie Rich returns with the second installment, "Town Bidness Vol. 2".
For "Town Bidness Vol. 2", he reached out to Lil Jon and Mannie Fresh to come support him on the raw street single "Drought", along with Devin The Dude who joins Rich on the smoker's anthem "Blow Mine". Other guest appearances include Bay Area favorites J. Stalin and Shady Nate on "Robo".
