RichType Pierre Tha Great isn’t just building a career — he’s building territory.
Now officially identifying as a Triple-Based National Mainstream Independent Artist, RichType represents New Orleans, Houston, and Atlanta, three cities that sit at the heart of America’s most influential hip-hop cultures. It’s a title backed by results: over 30 professionally recorded songs, verified listenership across all 50 U.S. states, growing international markets, and a breakout single that has pushed him into heavy national radio rotation

But before the radio spins and viral moments, there was survival.
Raised on Both Sides of New Orleans
RichType grew up on both the East and West Bank of New Orleans, moving through neighborhoods like Uptown, the 7th Ward, and New Orleans East. Those environments shaped his perspective early — places where culture runs deep, but opportunity often feels distant.
After Hurricane Katrina, his life became transient. He bounced between Houston, Atlanta, and parts of Baton Rouge, absorbing different regional sounds and realities before eventually returning to New Orleans around late middle school and high school. That constant movement planted the seeds for what he would later call his triple-based identity — a lived experience that now defines his music and brand.
Today, those roots show up in everything he does.
He is the creator of Brap (Brass Rap) — a sound that fuses hip-hop with brass-driven production rooted in New Orleans tradition — blending Southern grit with stadium-ready energy. It’s not just a genre; it’s cultural DNA turned into music.
From the Hood to the Nation
According to his 2026 Electronic Press Kit, RichType Pierre Tha Great has built verified listeners in every U.S. state while remaining fully independent — no label, no major budgets, no shortcuts

.
He’s released 30+ songs with zero collaborations, carrying every record on his own back. No features. No industry safety net. Just consistency, discipline, and belief.
Even more telling: he’s done all of this while still working a 9-to-5, navigating poverty, and staying connected to his community.
That’s why he calls himself a one-man army.
Not because it sounds good — but because it’s true.
“They All On My Six” and the Shift to Mainstream Independence
His breakout single “They All On My Six” marked a turning point. The track went viral across social media and YouTube while simultaneously entering heavy national radio rotation. Multiple outlets — including 504 XXL — have teased it as a potential Song of the Year, accelerating RichType into household-name status across Louisiana and Texas, with Georgia rapidly catching up

.
Dallas, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport are now official strongholds for his fanbase.
Atlanta isn’t just a destination — it’s becoming home.
This momentum has reshaped how RichType defines himself: not just mainstream, but mainstream independent — an artist operating at national scale without traditional label infrastructure.
Triple-Based. National. Independent.
RichType’s identity now stands on three pillars:
-
New Orleans – cultural foundation and birthplace of Brap
-
Houston – post-Katrina resilience and Southern expansion
-
Atlanta – future-forward growth and industry alignment
Together, they form a Southern power corridor that feeds directly into his sound, strategy, and audience development.
His Press Kit confirms:
-
Triple-based representation (New Orleans / Houston / Atlanta)
-
Verified listenership in all 50 states
-
International streaming presence
-
Household-name status in Louisiana and Texas
-

That’s not emerging artist territory.
That’s national.
Global Reach, Grassroots Core
Beyond the U.S., RichType is seeing organic growth in Brazil, Malaysia, Mexico, South Africa, and Nigeria, signaling the early stages of international expansion. At the center of it all is his grassroots movement — built without label backing, driven by real listeners who relate to his story.
A story of rebuilding after Katrina.
A story of working-class grind.
A story of carving space in an industry that rarely gives it freely.

He built his catalog alone.
He built his audience alone.
He built his name alone.
From Uptown blocks to national airwaves, from East Bank corners to international streams, RichType isn’t chasing mainstream recognition anymore.
He’s already living it — independently.
And that’s what makes him dangerous in the best way.
