Born in Erie, Pa in 1987, Ne' Richa was bred by reggae music & Motown sounds. "My mother is a BIG Bob Marley fan, so I picked up on those "island" rhythms at a very early age," says Richmond. That "island influence" permeates throughout tracks such as "RoqStar" & "Ain't Ya Ex." The former showcases the emcees' lyrical prowess, the latter is almost as soulful as it is arrogant, as the rapper harmonizes, "Don't make me over....I ain't ya ex, No". L.F.C.'s buzz single, "Dollar," is this embodiment of the album's premise, as the rapper showcases a fun & demanding flow over an intoxicating beat reminiscent of the better moments of the 80's era Hip Hop, commonly referred to as the "Golden Era."
