5. Belt
Real Boston Richey puts belt to ass in “Belt.”
Honestly, if Real Boston Richey stayed in this bag, I wouldn’t be mad at it. I love how annoyed he sounds throughout “Belt,” mentioning why he works as hard as he does while dismissing those who aren’t loyal to him. While I wish the chorus was a little more appealing, I do f**k with the urgency he raps with in his verses.
4. Come Outside (Sick)
We will hear Ne-Yo’s “So Sick” flipped at least 1,453 times in the near future.
In this track, Real Boston Richey doesn’t sound sick—instead, he comes off as someone immune to it. Set to a Jersey Club remix of Ne-Yo’s “So Sick” (even incorporating Ne-Yo’s original chorus), Richey raps about spoiling, smashing, and swapping women exactly how someone who’s rich should do. His flow may not be perfectly suited to the beat, but there’s something compelling about his gritty style layered over the softer, familiar melody.
3. Help Me
What’s the chance that Real Boston Richey will make a track bigger than “Help Me” again?
In “Help Me,” Real Boston Richey delivers an undeniable level of passion. Over a bass-heavy, piano-laden beat infused with soulful elements, he reflects on his life, expressing a desire to leave the streets behind and find genuine love. Richey’s versatility shines as he balances vulnerability, confidence, and anger, adapting to each mood and nailing it every time.
2. Still Gon Go (Ft. Lil Yachty)
Real Boston Richey and Lil Yachty are
I included “Still Gon Go” on this list because it’s the album’s boldest track in terms of experimentation. It features two beat switches, including a section with synths that are truly impressive, and showcases Lil Yachty’s slightly elevated vocal performance. Real Boston Richey also steps outside his usual style, taking risks that pay off.
1. The Type (Ft. YTB Fatt)
To make a long story short, Real Boston Richey and YTB Fatt are the type to end up in jail probably.
In “The Type,” Real Boston Richey reveals his unapologetic persona, claiming he’s the type to slide on folks, not sweat a chick, and easily return to the streets if needed. Although Richey always brings confidence, he sounds even bolder here, rapping with a lively rhythm that flows effortlessly over the dark, action-packed trap beat. YTB Fatt wraps up the track with an intense verse highlighting his wealth and love for violence. Interestingly, Fatt sounds like an evilier Lil Yachty.

OVERALL RATING
(D+) (67%)
Real Boston Richey sounds like Blac Youngsta’s cousin.
Production:
As someone new to Real Boston Richey, I found his beat selection on this album impressive. He blends gritty, soulful trap beats with his raw, street-focused style, which creates an interesting contrast. The tempos stay lively and authentic to the trap genre, giving the album a strong vibe without veering too far off course. All in all, I don’t think this album has a single beat that I would call bad.
Guest Appearances:
I love that Real Boston Richey kept the guest appearances very light. Only GloRilla, Lil Yachty, and YTB Fatts appear on this album.
The Performances:
Real Boston Richey dives right in with his rapping style, pushing hard to pack his verses with as many words as possible, even if it sometimes leads to stumbles. Personally, I find his voice a bit uncertain, and his tone feels reminiscent of others in his lane, like BossMan Dlow. However, his energy and aggression stand out positively; he delivers his lyrics with a rawness and authenticity that feels true to him, which is a quality I appreciate.
What Would I Change About This Album?
A lot of the verses and choruses on this album lack distinctiveness. As I listened through, it often felt like a stream of random street talk rather than structured songs. Many tracks almost blur together, with parts that don’t quite feel crafted as music.
The Biggest Reason You Should Listen To This Album:
The beats are the main draw here—they really carry the vibe. Plus, Real Boston Richey’s authenticity shines through as he speaks his truth, which adds a layer of rawness that’s easy to respect.
