Today we’d like to introduce you to Rxch Mike.
Hi Rxch, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I began my journey at just 16 years old. With a Rockband mic that was hooked up to his PlayStation 2 I decided to use it to record my first song, with a laptop running FL Studio and Mixcraft, I started recording songs from his bedroom. What began as casual experimentation quickly turned into a serious pursuit, as my unique sound and relentless drive began drawing attention online. 2019 I lost my brother and stopped doing music for about 2-3 years. The release of his first single in a while in 2025 marked a turning point. Almost immediately, a major label saw the potential in me and signed me, recognizing not only my talent but also my hustle and vision. This rapid rise is rare in today’s music landscape, and it signals that the industry sees me as more than just a promising newcomer. In the meantime I will be releasing more singles and visuals. The biggest news for me is my debut album, dropping in February 2026 under RocNation. Fans don’t have to wait long to see what’s next. My debut album is set for release in February 2026, and anticipation is already building. While details remain under wraps, it promises to showcase his signature trap sound, lyrical honesty, and versatility as an artist. Early singles hint at a mix of aggressive bangers and introspective tracks, giving listeners a full picture of his range.
I’m from Atlanta, Georgia, born and raised. Music wasn’t something I planned — it was something I grew into because of everything I went through. Where I’m from, you either let life break you or you learn how to stand up in the middle of it. I had to deal with a lot of things early: losing people, going to jail, making mistakes, trying to figure out who I was, and trying to keep my mind straight while life kept throwing things at me.
Those situations shaped me. Every time something happened, it left a mark, and those marks became what I now call my seven scars — seven real moments that pushed me to grow up, focus, and put God first. Music became the way I turned all of that into something bigger than the pain. It helped me talk about what I couldn’t say out loud, and people connected to that.
I started recording in small studios around the city, teaching myself the process, learning how to sharpen my sound. I didn’t have a big team or a major co-sign — I moved off passion and discipline. The more I dropped, the more people started paying attention. And that’s when I knew this wasn’t a hobby; it was my purpose.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Nothing about my life has ever been easy. A lot of the challenges I faced weren’t even things I could control — life hit me in ways I wasn’t prepared for. Losing people I cared about. Being misunderstood. Trying to stay focused while being surrounded by negativity. Trying to figure out how to push forward when you don’t even know what tomorrow looks like.
One of my biggest challenges was staying consistent when it felt like nobody was listening. When you’re building something from the ground up, you’re carrying everything yourself — the pressure, the doubt, the expectations, the investment. There were moments where I wanted to stop, but those seven scars kept reminding me why I started.
Another big challenge was trusting myself creatively. It’s easy to compare yourself or feel like you’re not moving fast enough. But once I learned to block out the noise and stay in my lane, everything changed.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I ask myself what makes your myand your story different from other artists?
My music comes straight from real experience — not imagination, not trends. I pull from Future, Rich Homie Quan, Rylo, Ralo, and NoCap, but I’m not trying to be like anybody. I take the pain, melodies, and rawness they inspired and turn it into my own sound.
What makes me different is that I’m not afraid to be vulnerable and talk about the things most people hide. I don’t rap to look tough; I rap to be honest. I rap for the people who feel overlooked, the people who made mistakes, the people trying to climb out of whatever hole life put them in.
My story is about survival, growth, and faith. Every song is a piece of what I lived through. When people hear my music, they feel like they know me — not the image, but the person behind it.
Tell us about your latest work.
I dropped Rxch World, which was me introducing people to my mindset — my hunger, my ambition, and how I see life differently now. That project opened the door for people to understand who I am as an artist.
Now I’m focused on SEVEN SCARS, my most personal body of work. It’s not just an album — it’s a reflection of everything I survived. Each track represents a different moment, a different lesson, a different scar that changed me. The sound is raw, emotional, and honest. It’s me telling my story with no filter.
I feel like this project is going to reach people who feel the same pain but don’t know how to express it. That’s what I make music for.
What are you most proud of so far in your journey?
I’m proud that I didn’t quit. I’m proud that I stayed true to myself even when it felt like nobody was paying attention. I’m proud that my music is reaching people who tell me it helped them get through something.
I’m also proud that every step I’ve taken, I took it with purpose. I built everything from zero. Every stream, every follower, every listener — it wasn’t handed to me. I earned it.
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
What’s next for you?
More music. More growth. More storytelling. I want to keep building my catalog, keep elevating my sound, and keep showing people that you can turn pain into something powerful.
I’m locking in on visuals, collaborations, and reaching more people outside of Atlanta. And long-term, I want to build something that outlives me — something real, something meaningful, something that my city can be proud of.
SEVEN SCARS is just the beginning of a much bigger story. Oh yea! I have a open verse on the album so tune in December 15th.
