So Rich’s story is a reflection of raw transformation, street survival, and unshakable resilience. Raised in the streets and system-impacted since the age of 15, Rich spent more than 13 years in and out of incarceration—including a decade behind bars on an 11-year manslaughter charge. But what started as a life fueled by violence and desperation would become a testimony of growth, faith, and redemption.

While serving his final sentence, Rich experienced a powerful mental and spiritual awakening that changed everything. He chose a new path—one rooted in purpose, ownership, and service. That decision laid the foundation for a new identity: artist, entrepreneur, community leader.

Today, So Rich is signed to Red Cafe’s Shakedown Entertainment and runs So Rich Entertainment. He also owns The Black House—a creative and cultural lounge in Long Island, serving as a business hub for artists and entrepreneurs. Through his nonprofit, So Rich in Community, he mentors gang-involved and justice-impacted youth, helping them rewrite their own narratives just like he did.

This episode is a reminder: the streets don’t have to write your ending. Rich is proof that redemption is always possible—if you choose it.
