@rico_richie — Rico Richie

Rico Richie, is an American rapper and songwriter. Raised in an unstable living environment surrounded by drugs, violence and no role models, Rico found his escape from reality through football and music. As a teen, he and his father moved to a suburban neighborhood in Atlanta, Georgia, which exposed Rico to a more positive outlook on life. He focused all his angst and pain into sports, which resulted in Rico receiving the greatest news of his life; a full ride scholarship to Georgia Tech to play Division 1 College football. As a top football player at Georgia Tech, he was well respected in Atlanta and was able to make strong connections with popular DJs, rap artists and producers in the music industry.
