Jalen Taheen Foster (born February 4, 1997),[1] known professionally as Real Boston Richey, is an American rapper from Tallahassee, Florida.[3] He is currently signed to Future's record label Freebandz, and is noted for his usage of Michigan-style hip-hop production.[4] His mixtape Public Housing peaked at number 60 on the Billboard 200.[5]

Career

[edit]

Richey began rapping in 2021 after the passing of his cousin and from a suggestion from his close friends.[2] In March 2022, he released his single "Keep Dissing".[4] In August 2022, Future appeared on his single "Bullseye 2" and gifted Richey a chain after signing him to his Freebandz record label.[6] Also in August 2022, he released a 17-track mixtape titled Public Housing.[7] In October 2022, Lil Durk appeared on his single "Keep Dissing 2" and its subsequent music video.[8]

Musical style

[edit]

Alphonse Pierre, writing for Pitchfork, describes Real Boston Richey's music style in the following manner: "That out of town influence doesn’t drown out the idiosyncrasies of a Sunshine State MC though; Richey’s regional drawl makes every word feel slurred and he has a natural melody even though he's not singing. Lyrically, he has a lot of the same problems as the drill-leaning scene across the way in Jacksonville, where nothing ever seems to stick out."[4]
