Richie Righteous is an international gospel rap artist who was born in Guyana, South America as the son of a preacher before his family would later migrate to Queens, New York in the United States when Richie was 11 years old. After being exposed to the rich and diverse cultures and music in New York, Rich began to fall in love with the world of hip hop and the various ways it was used to express one’s views and emotions. Although a certified church boy, Rich still couldn’t ward off all of the exposure, peer pressure, temptations and even frustrations from the world around him. From being held at gunpoint during a home invasion as a child, to having his first born child out of wedlock, Richie would come to resolidify his relationship with the Lord and dedicate not only his heart to God but a righteous lifestyle and relationship with God.
