Exclusive Interview With Emerging Rapper RockstarRican From Richmond, Virginia
Today we’d like to introduce you to RockstarRican. RockstarRican is an American rapper and songwriter. He rose to Popularity in 2021 with his single titled “Talk Too Much”, which surpassed over 400,000 streams on Spotify. We had the chance to interview the superstar RockstarRican born and raised in Richmond, Virginia.
- Can you tell us a story about what brought you to this specific career path?
RockstarRican – Well, the reason I decided to take on a music career is that while growing up, I used to watch Lil Wayne and Birdman on MTV cribs and would be fascinated by the lifestyle they were living at the time and now, with all the nice cars, houses, and jewelry, so as I grew up and became able to purchase music equipment I decided to purchase it and pursue a music career.
- Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you started this career?
RockstarRican – Since I’ve started doing music and connecting with people and gaining widespread attention, the most interesting thing or things that happened is that Aaron Reid (Hitco Music A&R) and Andrew Grant (Atlantic Records A&R) started following me on Instagram.
- Can you share a story about the funniest mistake you made when you were first starting? Can you tell us what lesson you learned from that?
RockstarRican – The funniest mistake I’ve made when I first started making music was that I was releasing music that wasn’t mixed or mastered and it sounded terrible but people were telling me that it sounded good, knowing darn well that it sounded terrible.
- What are some of the most interesting or exciting projects you are working on now?
RockstarRican – At the moment I’m only working on releasing new singles instead of projects, my reason for that is because I had a conversation on the phone with “Wendy Day”, Who is known for helping Cash Money get their biggest deal pretty much just told me to continue to drop singles and keep marketing them.
- Who are some of the most interesting people you have interacted with? What was that like? Do you have any stories?
RockstarRican – I haven’t really interacted with many people but the few that I have talked about in my music career we’re pretty cool.
- Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them to thrive and not “burn out”?
RockstarRican – The tip I would give them is to tell them to continue to work hard on what they love to do and NEVER give up because if they give up they’ll have zero chance of being successful in what they want to do in life.
- You have been blessed with success in a career path that can be challenging. Do you have any words of advice for others who may want to embark on this career path, but seem daunted by the prospect of failure?
RockstarRican – If anybody wants to get into the music industry I would tell them to go for it and work hard because, to be honest, all it takes is one song to blow up which will open up many more doors for them in life.
- Can you share with our readers any self-care routines, practices, or treatments that you do to help your body, mind, or heart to thrive? Kindly share a story or an example for each.
RockstarRican – I really don’t have any routines, Basically just try to keep myself level-headed and continue to work hard for what I want in life.
- What are your “5 things I wish someone told me when I first started” and why? Please share a story or example for each.
RockstarRican – I really don’t have five things in mind that I was someone told me, I’m pretty much just learning along the way as I go.
- Can you please give us your favorite “Life Lesson Quote”? Can you share how that was relevant to you in your life?
RockstarRican – My favorite life lesson quote from my dad was always “If I wanna shine, you gotta grind” so I basically just took that and applied it to anything that I do as far as working on music or working at a job.
- None of us are able to achieve success without some help along the way. Is there a particular person who you are grateful towards who helped get you to where you are? Can you share a story about that?
RockstarRican – The person that I’m grateful for is my cousin, she was the first person to invest in my music career and purchase my first set of speakers and microphones for me to record music.
- You are a person of enormous influence. If you could start a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, what would that be? You never know what your idea can trigger. 🙂
RockstarRican – The movement I would try to push is for everyone to love one another no matter the skin color or race and just be thankful to be alive because life is too short.
- We are very blessed that some of the biggest names in Business, VC funding, Sports, and Entertainment read this column. Is there a person in the world, or in the US with whom you would love to have a private breakfast or lunch, and why? He or she might see this. 🙂
RockstarRican – The number one person that I want to meet in the music industry and do music or business with is Lil Baby, he’s pretty much one of the rap artists that I gravitate to most.

Adrie ft. Rulo evokes the groove-soaked rhythmic vibe with her debut single “Bring Back the Light”
Adrie’s thought-provoking vibe, “Bring Back the Light,” establishes a sonically vivid kaleidoscope that encapsulates vitality and skillfully merges energetic Afrobeat rhythms and funk-oriented guitar melodies with the soulful combination of English and Spanish lyrics. The debut single from her upcoming concept album bursts forth as a significant representation of artistic innovation. The audacious collaboration with Chilean artist Rulo, recognized for his proficiency in Latin funk and hip-hop roots, infuses the track with a layer of vibrant authenticity.
The song’s heartbeat is firmly rooted in Afrobeat, establishing a dynamic rhythm that engages listeners from the outset. The funk guitar elements interlace throughout the composition, contributing a timeless energy. Additionally, the bilingual lyrics transition seamlessly between English and Spanish, reflecting Adrie’s diverse cultural heritage. This linguistic interplay underscores the overarching theme of the track: the complex relationship between light and darkness on both societal and personal levels.
Drawing inspiration from the surreal narrative of the television series ‘Twin Peaks,’ Adrie and Rulo explore the equilibrium between fear and hope. The lyrics are imbued with emotional depth, articulating Adrie’s battle with anxiety and her desire to foster positivity. Nevertheless, the overall composition rises above the melancholy theme, characterized by an uplifting rhythm and celebratory tone, encouraging listeners to engage intellectually, contemplate profoundly, and participate physically through dance.
“Bring Back the Light” aims to illuminate these pressing issues and inspire proactive engagement. It is a poignant reminder that even amidst personal or societal challenges, there’s a rhythm in life to celebrate and a spark waiting to be ignited. This represents Adrie at her most creative, and with Rulo’s distinctive flair, the outcome is a dance-floor anthem characterized by both heartfelt and meaningful. Listeners are invited to increase the volume and allow the music to uplift and brighten their spirits.
