A dope, dope EPK for the artist known as Rich Kidd.

Once in a while, a talent comes along who isn’t bound by conventional wisdom. He doesn’t follow the rules. He’s a mad musical genius with the vision of creating a monster. Critically acclaimed producer, MC, song-writer, director; Rich Kidd is that talent. The Toronto native is everywhere. Covering magazines like NOW & HipHopCanada, winning Stylus & Toronto Independent Music Awards, touring Australia & Canada, producing music for everyone from Drake to Busta Rhymes to Nelly Furtado and releasing one of his country’s farthest reaching mixtape series (We On Some Rich Kidd Shit 1,2,3,4 & 5), Rich Kidd’s spent the last five years making wave after wave. It’s his 360 degree musical vision that allows him such well-rounded success, but it’s brutally honest charisma, infectious production and fierce lyricism that garner such a passionate, diverse following all over the world.

Hit the jump for the full synopsis!
