Rich Amiri Signs with Internet Money Records, Shares EVOLUTION, His New 12-Track Project

The 18-Year-Old Boston Native is the Freshest Addition to the Plaque-Stacking Artist-Producer Collective, and He Showcases His Inimitable Voice Over Internet Money Production on His Debut Full-Length

Critical Praise:

“For someone who has only been rapping for two years, Rich continues to deliver nothing but perfection track after track.” – Lyrical Lemonade

The Announcement:

Tearing up the internet underground with his velvety vocals and strong hitmaking instincts, Rich Amiri has spent the past two years turning heads in high places. Today, Rich Amiri announces his new record deal with Internet Money Records / 10K Projects. Founded by Taz Taylor, Internet Money is the industry’s premier producer-artist collective, responsible for a phone book-length list of RIAA-certified hits, a polished and innovative production sound, and boosting the careers of some of rap’s most exciting young artists. With his expert sense of melody and rich vocal timbre, Amiri is a perfect fit for the roster and a good bet to evolve into a major star.

For his first move as an Internet Money Records signee, Rich Amiri shares EVOLUTION, his debut full-length project. Produced in full by Internet Money, the new project provides a rich and futuristic canvas upon which Amiri can paint with his deep and soulful voice. The Boston-native rhymer is an expert flexer, whether he’s bragging about his illicit gains on the percolating “Dirty Money,” or proclaiming his own immorality on the cavernous closer “Can’t Die,” produced by IM’s Cxdy and Taz Taylor. Spanning 12 tracks, the project plays like a cohesive mix, with many tracks seamlessly transitioning to the next, with instrumentals that fill the room but leave space for Amiri to twirl his infectious melodies. The result is a dreamlike evocation of a world of Amiri’s own, full of Audemar watches, Rolls Royce Wraiths, and more money than one can count. Home to the recent singles “Poppin” ft. Lil Tecca and “Salty,” EVOLUTION is available everywhere via Internet Money Records / 10K Projects.

EVOLUTION is the latest step in Amiri’s rise from SoundCloud to nascent stardom. In 2021, he released his hit “Never Fail,” which recently surpassed 3 million streams on SoundCloud, which sparked a series of underground hits. Last year, the rapper shared his debut EP For The Better, which featured guest spots from SSGKobe, Summrs, and others.

With his new deal with Internet Money, the respect of his peers in the melodic rap game, and a fast-growing fanbase, Rich Amiri is out to take over the game. Stay tuned for much more from the rising star in the near future.

The Background:

Hypnotic and honeyed, Rich Amiri’s voice is like little else in rap. Having only recently started taking music seriously, his syrupy melodies have already helped him stand out from his peers in plugg&B–a slurry blend of soul and cloud rap that’s been taking over the internet. Amiri’s humble and nonchalant about his gifts but that hasn’t stopped him from becoming one of his scene’s most free-associative songwriters. He switches lanes with grace, as evidenced by some of the highlights from his recent EP Chase. Tracks like “J10” are low-key and sensitive, while “Never Fail” allows him room to rage, showing off his many sides in quick succession. Though the 18-year-old hails from Boston, he’s a child of the internet who’s been uploading bedroom recordings to SoundCloud since 2020. Like many Gen Z stars, Amiri is something of a one-man army. He says even before he made music, he was on TikTok “from sunup to sundown,” meaning he knew exactly how to get “Never Fail” to go viral—and it’s now inching toward 2 million SoundCloud streams. Amiri’s just getting started, but he’s already starting to accomplish his goals, reaching fans and sharing his innermost feelings. And yet, he’s quickly learned not to force anything. He’s made it this far by trusting his gut, after all. “If it’s a good beat, it’ll speak to me,” he says. “Then I make it speak to other people, too. “
