Rich Homie Quan first rose to fame in the early 2010s with hits like "Difference" and "Type of Way" in 2013, which reached the top 20 on the US R&B and hip hop charts. He continued to gain success with singles such as "Walk Thru" and "Blah Blah Blah," but it was his track "Flex" from his mixtape If You Ever Think I Will Stop Goin' In Ask RR that became his biggest hit, reaching number eight on the R&B charts and 26 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 2015, he collaborated with other popular artists such as Tyga, Wale, YG, and Kid Ink on "Ride Out," which was featured on the Furious 7 soundtrack. Quan's journey to the spotlight was not an easy one, as he initially had dreams of a career in baseball but turned to crime after dropping out of college and losing his job. He was arrested in 2011 at the age of 21 and served 15 months behind bars. It was during this time that he discovered his passion for music and began writing songs.
In an interview with XXL in 2014, Quan shared, "When I got locked up, I started to think about everything I was good at. When I was a kid, I loved to read. Literature was my favorite subject. I loved creative writing classes. So when I got locked up, I read my first book in jail. I have been reading for years, but I read my first book in jail with understanding. When I learned how to really read a book, it took my mind to another place. So after that, then I started writing poems, and after that my poems didn't sound like poems, they sounded like rhymes. I was like, 'Let me see if I can put it on a beat.'"
After his release from jail, Quan faced challenges in being taken seriously as a musician, but he persevered and dropped his first mixtape. He continued to improve and differentiate himself from other artists, eventually achieving his dream of performing on stage and connecting with his fans. Quan's reps have been contacted for a comment on this tragic news.
