The Indonesian hip hop star has a combined nearly 11 million followers on his social media and streaming profiles, with 1.85 million followers on Spotify. According to Soundcharts, which tracks real-time and historical music consumption and social media data, Rich Brian’s following primarily comes from his home country, followed by the United States, where he’s currently based.

The 88rising signee has most recently contributed two songs to Marvel’s Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings: “Lazy Susan” with Masiwei, Warren Hue, and 21 Savage; and “Run It” with DJ Snake and Rick Ross. He also appeared in three more songs in the OST. He previously also collaborated with Canadian rapper bbno$ for “edamame.” 

Rich Brian (real name Brian Imanuel Soewarno) rose to prominence with his 2016 viral hit, “Dat $tick,” under his previous moniker Rich Chigga. He has since collaborated with some of the biggest names in hip hop, including Ghostface Killah, Rick Ross, and fellow 88rising labelmates Higher Brothers and Joji.

He will be co-headlining this year’s edition of the Head In The Clouds festival and Saweetie, CL, NIKI, and more.
