Career

Richey began rapping in 2021 after the passing of his cousin and from a suggestion from his close friends. [2] In March 2022, he released his single "Keep Dissing". [4] In August 2022, Future appeared on his single "Bullseye 2" and gifted Richey a chain after signing him to his Freebandz record label. [6] Also in August 2022, he released a 17-track mixtape titled Public Housing. [7] In October 2022, Lil Durk appeared on his single "Keep Dissing 2" and its subsequent music video. [8]

Musical style

Alphonse Pierre, writing for Pitchfork, describes Real Boston Richey's music style in the following manner: "That out of town influence doesn’t drown out the idiosyncrasies of a Sunshine State MC though; Richey’s regional drawl makes every word feel slurred and he has a natural melody even though he's not singing. Lyrically, he has a lot of the same problems as the drill-leaning scene across the way in Jacksonville, where nothing ever seems to stick out." [4]
