Rich the Kid

Dimitri Leslie Roger (born July 13, 1992), known professionally as Rich the Kid, is an American rapper. After a number of independent mixtapes, he signed with Interscope Records in 2017 to release his debut studio album, The World Is Yours (2018). Supported by the singles "New Freezer" (featuring Kendrick Lamar) and "Plug Walk", the album peaked at number two on the Billboard 200. His second and third studio albums, The World Is Yours 2 (2019) and Boss Man (2020) peaked at numbers four and 24 on the chart, respectively. He has also released the collaborative mixtapes Nobody Safe (2020) with YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and Trust Fund Babies (2021) with Lil Wayne. Furthermore, he founded the record label Rich Forever Music in 2016, through which he has signed rappers Famous Dex and Jay Critch.

His 2024 single, "Carnival" (with ¥$ featuring Playboi Carti) marked a period of resurgence as it peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his first song to do so. Its co-performers, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign, both served as executive producers for Roger's fourth studio album, Life's a Gamble (2024), which failed to chart in any known territory.
