Today, rapper, producer, singer and songwriter Rich Brian releases his latest single, “Love In My Pocket”, via 88rising, distributed by 12Tone Music. Written and produced with longtime collaborators Bekon and The Donuts (Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Rich Brian – The Sailor), “Love In My Pocket” is a bubbly summer jam that marks a new chapter for Rich Brian. During quarantine, Rich Brian became inspired by his socially distant summer, surrounding himself with a community of incredible artists and creatives like Thundercat and Trippie Redd. Through “Love In My Pocket,” fans and listeners will experience lyrics that are equal parts sun-drenched, sonic euphoria and pure angst as well as a fresh sound from Rich Brian that is here to stay.
Speaking on “Love In My Pocket”, Brian explains, “This song is about living in an environment of attention being sought with love happening around you that you feel like you deserve to experience but don’t know how to get, and fears being conquered.”
“Love In My Pocket” follows Brian’s smash hit, “Bali”, which was released on April 10. Featuring Guapdad 4000, “Bali” has crossed over 20.5M streams since its release and received praises from outlets like The New York Times, Billboard, Complex, and more.
