Rich Gang: Tha Tour Pt. 1 is a mixtape by American rappers Birdman, Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan, billed collectively as Rich Gang. It was released on September 29, 2014, by Cash Money Records. Production was helmed by London on da Track, Issac Flame and Goose, while American rappers Nipsey Hussle, PeeWee Longway, Jacquees, Yung Ralph, Bloody Jay, MPA Duke and MPA Wicced provided guest appearances.
The mixtape loosely succeeds the label's compilation album, Rich Gang (2013), from which both Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug were absent. Rich Gang: Tha Tour was supported by seven promotional singles: "Tell Em (Lies)", "Imma Ride", "Freestyle", "Soldier", "Milk Marie", "Flava" and "Givenchy".
On March 11, 2014, American rappers Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan announced a joint EP to be released in the near future. Rich Homie Quan described it as "best collabo since OutKast."[1] On September 23, 2014, Birdman described Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan's collaboration during an interview with MTV News, saying "They were already working on a project, them two, and I said, 'Let's do it together. Let me take it to the next level for y'all, 'cause I see y'all got the potential and the talent.' I just thought by them being together, it would be a stronger impact and then they still can do their solo things."[2]
Promotional singles
On September 29, 2014, videos for the first and second promotional singles "Tell Em (Lies)" and "Imma Ride" were released ahead of the mixtape.[3] On October 17, 2014, videos for "Freestyle" and "Soldier” were released as the third and fourth promotional singles.
