[edit] Background
Rich Boy dropped out of his studies of engineering at Tuskegee University in order to concentrate on music. With a few demo releases, he was noticed by producer Polow Da Don (who had already produced numbers for Ludacris, Jamie Foxx and Fergie). Rich Boy then signed a contract with Zone 4 through Interscope Records and started to work on his debut album. In the meantime, he made guest appearances on one of Ludacris' Disturbing tha Peace compilations and on a few mix tapes, such as Da Bottom, Vol. 5 by DJ Ideal and Jermaine Dupri. On March 13, 2007, Rich Boy released his self-titled debut album and with the success of his hit singles Throw Some D's, Boy Looka Here, Good Things, and Let's Get This Paper, the album went on to be certified Gold by the RIAA.[citation needed]
