18-year old Indonesian rapper Rich Brian has definitely been making a name for himself.  Don’t let the age fool you – he’s no bubblegum, childish pop-rapper.  In other words, Rich Brian likes his f-bombs, like any other rapper, regardless of age.  Furthermore, he has an incredibly deep, distinct voice.  And if that wasn’t enough, early on, he’s already offended at the tender, young age of 16.  Following the controversial “Dat $tick,” star-studded banger “Gospel,” and his ex-fueled “Glow Like Dat,” he returns with “Chaos.”

“Yeah happy birthday to me / I’m 18 now / And women can legally have sex with me / Shout out Based God.”

“Chaos” is short and sweet.  Not sweet in regards to the rhymes – Chigga goes hard. Newly turned 18, he’s serious about celebrating the milestone in his life. “Chaos” is the perfect platform for him to do so.  He flexes on the hook:

“I’ll be riding right down Melrose with a thickie main, bro / Sittin’ on my lap, but she just tryna be my friend, though / Bumping on the XO, so when I’m ‘bout to call my ex-hoe / Mommy, daddy home, I barely see them like a rainbow.”

The production is banging from the jump, sporting a malicious, hard-nosed sound.  This is perfect fuel for the fire – a deep fire given his distinct, deep voice.  Notably, he even raps about it.  He should – it’s definitely not your ordinary voice.  That being said, the same set of lyrics also references sex…

“Call me D-Wayne, ‘cause she licking on my Johnson like The Rock / Oh my God, man, his voice so deep / I thought he was 21-plus.”

He also informs the world he works hard for his money.

“Damn, make all my own shit / I get all the profits / If you actin’ lazy, then don’t expect your props, bitch.”

Final Thoughts 

So, what’s the verdict on the “Chaos?” BANGER. This is a step up from “Glow Like Dat.” Granted, they are two completely different tracks, the cockiness and confidence on “Chaos” is bodes well for Rich Brian, for some reason.
