Rich Homie Quan Was the Missing Link of Southern Rap
Briefly

Nothing sounds like Rich Gang: Tha Tour Pt. 1, a melody-driven spirit bomb that is an ode to partying, getting laid, getting rich, Atlanta, and brotherhood.
When I first heard the tape, in 2014, as a teenager, I didn't even know rap could sound like 'Tell Em (Lies),' where Quan's ragged croons curl around Thug's hypercharged shriek.
Almost 10 years later, Young Thug is caught in legal purgatory fighting a RICO case, and, now, Rich Homie Quan is dead at the age of 34.
It feels like a gaping hole has been left in Atlanta, the tragedies just keep coming. Lil Keed. Rico Wade. Trouble. Bankroll Fresh. Marlo. Shawty Lo. Takeoff.
