It’s no secret that major label record budgets are generally massive, allowing the game’s big names to drive up their prices accordingly. Rich The Kid has taken full advantage of that very fact, opting to apply surge prices to his usual going rate. Should you be looking to secure his dulcet tones, you’re looking at turning over a cool one-hundred-and-twenty-thousand. In fact, that’s the same ballpark as DaBaby, who recently revealed his own six-figure cost of doing business.

“Artists tell ya labels ya want me for your features 120k bring the cash,” writes Rich, his own Instagram story. It’s unclear whether that’s a flat rate for friends and newcomers alike; for instance, is YoungBoy’s label shelling out a pretty penny for Rich’s presence, or is he applying a discounted “bromance rate?”
Naturally, Rich’s more-than-a-down-payment pricetag has opened the door for many a naysayer, but all it really takes is one label to bite. And seeing as we’ve seen Rich on his fair share of guest appearances, it’s entirely possible that business is booming for the perpetually stoned, self-made hitmaker. Would you drop the ducats on a verse from Rich?
