Rich Homie Quan is the latest big name to invite Karen Civil and her Civil TV series into his everyday life. In this episode, the “Walk Thru” rapper takes us through his hometown of Atlanta, where he dips into the studio to show us the process of creating his upcoming mixtape.

He says of the projectL

“I wanted to get fans acquainted with who Rich Homie Quan is, and where he wants to go, and what I want out of music.”

As far as his album is coming along, Quan reveals that he is about 60% done with it, and that the other 40% is depending on a release date deadline, and coming up with a title. He reveals that Drake, Boosie, and others have features on it.

Rich Homie also dives into some of the violence he has had to come across with, such as the results from a few weeks ago when him and his team got into a scuffle during a Adrien Broner match. He explains that he “could be going to check the mailbox, somebody could throw something at you just to be funny.”

Later in the episode, Quan takes us to his father’s house, which is where they both grew up in ATL, and McNair High School where he attended classes. He even shares some of the moments that determined the start of his rap career at a younger age.

While speaking on his close friendship with rapper Young Thug, he explains:

“That’s a real friendship. That’s my brother. The social network they can misconstrue things, but at the same time, me as an artist, I never let that deteriorate my mind or get to me because you’re going to think what you want to think.”

He also shares the story on losing contact with Birdman after meeting him, and how Young Thug was the reason that they rekindled their contact and established a relationship. Apparently, the two talked to each other twice a day everyday.

Quan takes us behind the creation of his clothing line in Atlanta, which was made possible by Jeezy, and how he was signed to the Think It’s A Game label.

So, what can we expect from Rich Homie Quan in the near future?

“A lot more excitement. A little more fun.”

“Every song I make, I try to make better than my last one.”

    Salute to the Homie

    Title: SALUTE TO THE HOMIE (RICH HOMIE QUAN)
    Views: 28

    This here is dedicated to the Homie

    You woke my soul to show me

    The truth about life’s mystery

    Dated back to the beginning of history

    You see I was searching for my souls purpose

    When Astrology I started to interpret

    While sitting there contemplating

    I found the beauty in meditating

    Or should I say my creative visualization

    While my spirits were levitating

    In my ears on repeat, “Finally Made it”, was playing

    Your melodies had my hand sketching

    Quan, I know you WAS truly my disguised blessing

    For seeking the knowledge and obtaining the lessons

    You see music is the way I get my messages

    And your music dictates  my struggle

    These 90 babies don’t know about being loyal

    Money, Power, and Respect is there live by term

    But real O. G.’s no Respect wasn’t given it was earned

    It’s like everything you speak

    Are pages in my diary

    And when I’m mad you inspire me

    To not give in to society

    And take my glasses off to see straight through deceit

    That light inside me so brightly shined 

    That day you made my soul and spirit combine

    The feeling of joy that can only be described as Divine

    Heaven on earth is what it combined 

    You see I died back in the month of June

    To be rebirth with my sacred Atlantean tune

    That’s ready to wake up other souls real soon

    It’s like in another life you WAS my twin brother

    Who understood me like no other

    And the love sent my soul to the highest level

    What I did was hit my souls devotion

    Imagine being under a Happy Happy joy joy love potion

    Even my body was set into a rhythmic motion

    I felt what you felt when you Finally Made It

    And  we damn show ain’t basic

    Spitting Nothing but the truth waiting on my dictations to take me places

    Standing in the truth in every situations

    I feel reloaded like you in your songs

    And I swear I go in every poem

    And neither did I graduate from college

    But I dine anytime from that tree of knowledge

    Number one in my class plus top scholars

    When I chose my heart over millions of dollars

    I know you have plenty of groupies, fans, and followers

    Along with kinfolks, grimy chics and real petty cowards

    However I want to show you my gratitude

    For playing my sacred tune

    Thank you for waking up my soul

    Your loyalty I’ll forever hold 

    My life was baffled and mangled

    Until the day I heard my guardian angle

    Who UN knotted all the tangles

    I just want to say thank YA 

    Wish I can do it in person

    So as for now Ill write it in verses
