CHRISTIAN RICH – THE DECADENCE

This is good sh*t right here, and a lot of people have been asking me about my super-talented producer/DJ homies from the Chi lately, so this is RIGHT on time! The brothers of Christian Rich have completed their newest project entitled ‘The Decadence‘, chocked full of all the musical gloriousness your heart desires. The project is their 1st MAJOR introduction to the music world, but with management from Shae of N.E.R.D. and cosigns from Pharrell, Lupe Fiasco, Kardinal Offishall, and others, it’s sure to be a swift induction into your playlist. Oh and the ARTWORK? That’s done by none other than the homie Brandon Breaux of Ends Wealth Corp. Chicago! Check out one of my favorite joints from the project, “Hello Virgin” and then download the tape. I’ve also included the track listing, their video drop from Pharrell, and the video for Hello Virgin after the jump. Indulge!
