Let’s switch the calendar back all the way to 2012 when a young, exuberant act out of Atlanta delivered an infectious banger for the streets. We’re not talking about Future, T.I., or Young Thug. The boy Rich Homie Quan had the streets and radio on smash with his heater “Type of Way.” The club banger served as Quan’s first record to chart on Billboard and received dozens of co-signs from the likes of JAY Z, Drake, Lil Wayne, and more. That was four years ago. Fans salivated at a possible album from Quan, but were left in the dust because of numerous push backs from the ATLien. Now, it appears that there’s a glimmer of hope as Quan revealed that his long-awaited album is on the way. But, of course, in typical Quan fashion, he will drop a mixtape before he anything.

I can bet every dollar in my pocket that people are gonna be like, ‘Damn, you should have saved this for the album.’”
