Tommy Richman, MILLION DOLLAR BABY | Song Review 🎵

Tommy Richman drops a surefire banger with his viral melodic rap /R&B single, “MILLION DOLLAR BABY.”

“Cause I wanna make it (so badly) / I’m a Million Dollar Baby (don’t at me).” WOO! Cutting straight to the chase, “MILLION DOLLAR BABY”, a two-and-a-half-minute single from Tommy Richman, is a vibe from the opening tip.  The moment this sugar honey iced tea comes on, it is straight fire! It was produced by Max Vossberg, Jonah Roy, Mannyvelli, Sparkheem, and Kavi.  The production team kicks ass and takes names. The groove is infectious to the nth degree. Between it and the gimmicky ‘chopped and screwed’ vocals in the intro – “Do it, baby, do what I should think / Do it-do it, baby, do what I could think” – it gets you hype TF up!

Besides rad production, the melodies are infectious and tuneful. The lyrics are also confident and fun. “I ain’t never rep a set baby / I ain’t do no wrong,” Richman sings (*raps melodically) in the chorus, continuing, “I could clean up good for you / Oh, I know right from wrong.” Richman’s vocal performance is intriguing.  His tone is ear-catching and, the comparisons to Brent Faiyaz don’t seem far-fetched. He oozes with soul and swagger. A prime example of this swagger: “VA next (Yeah, yeah), I’m at they neck (Yeah, yeah) / I’m running up a check (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah).” If you need a translation for what Richman’s saying, he’s saying his home state, Virginia, has got next. Ultimately, Tommy Richman ‘did the damn thang’ on “MILLION DOLLAR BABY”.  This is a MUST addition to the listening rotation – a surefire banger!
