Jay Critch and Rich The Kid kick off the "Rich Forever 4" campaign with "Near You."

Despite the recent success, Rich The Kid continues to grind like he's broke. The rapper's had a phenomenal year thus far after dropping his debut album, The World Is Yours. The project has already delivered two platinum selling singles, "New Freezer" ft. Kendrick Lamar and "Plug Walk." Shortly after he dropped his album, his Rich Forever signee, Famous Dex, released his album. Now, he's going full force with promoting the upcoming Rich Forever compilation album. Today, RTK joins forces with Jay Critch for the new song "Near You" off of Rich Forever 4.

Jay Critch is the next artist to blow out of the Rich Forever camp. As Rich The Kid gears up to release the label's compilation project, he drops off two new songs including his collaboration with Critch on "Near You." The new song finds the two rappers linking up over some pitched-up, dreamy soul sample as they continue to flex the luxurious "Rich Forever" lifestyle. While Rich The Kid handles the hook and a verse, he leaves it up to Jay Critch to lead the way on this track. 

Rich The Kid's setting Critch up for a hot summer. Rich Forever 4 is set to drop on July 13th.

Quotable Lyrics
You run up on me, you a damn fool
Eating good, used to be canned food
In the hood walking with bands too
Water on me like the damn pool
