Texas’ Own Richie Branson Is Putting Nerdcore On The Map

Richie Branson is putting nerdcore on the map with his skilled rhymes filled with colorful bars of fast cars and anime references. Since the beginning of his rap journey, he’s always had a strength in crossing over and getting his music heard outside of the sub-genre of “nerdcore” or nerd rap. Now at the forefront, he’s changing the stigma for his peers with hot tracks like “Hentai Lamborghini” and “Drift King.”

Despite being a staple in the genre, Richie Branson wasn’t always pushing nerd rap. In the beginning, his music was more traditional hip-hop, gaining his success in the mainstream first. Early in his career he was blessed with the chance to accompany the late great DMX on a tour, where he was inspired by DMX to be more authentic in his music. Leaving the tour with a new idea of what originality meant, Richie Branson decided to make music that aligned better with his interests. He began creating projects based on video games with themes from anime to Japanese sports cars. Songs like “Hentai Lamborghini” allow Richie Branson to dive deep into his likes and hobbies, rapping about things like BAPE clothes and Crunchyroll video streaming service. His capacity and proficient knowledge of both nerd and hip hop culture make Richie Branson a master of his craft and a force to be reckoned with.
