Watch the Producer of Rich The Kid’s ‘Plug Walk’ Explain How He Made the Track

TheLabCook

The producer of Rich The Kid‘s hit single “Plug Walk” has broken down the track on a new episode of Genius’ Deconstructed. The song, which was included in DJcity’s February Trends report, is currently No. 18 on Billboard’s Hot 100. It is Rich’s highest charting single to date.

In the video, rising Toronto producer TheLabCook discusses how he and Rich met, and breaks down the elements of the track.

“I had no idea it would be gold in a month or almost platinum … I didn’t see the potential in it,” Cook admits. “A lot of [a track’s success] has to do with how the producer uses [the beat].”

Cook is an in-house producer for the rapper’s label, Rich Forever Music. He has collaborated with rappers like Migos, Lil Yachty, Gucci Mane, A$AP Ferg, and 2 Chainz.

“Plug Walk” is the second single off Rich’s debut album, The World Is Yours. The project contains the Kendrick Lamar-assisted single “New Freezer,” which peaked at No. 42 on the Hot 100.

Watch Rich The Kid’s ‘New Freezer’ Video Feat. Kendrick Lamar

New Freezer

Atlanta rapper Rich The Kid has delivered the video for his Kendrick Lamar-assisted single, “New Freezer.” The track was one of DJcity’s most-downloaded songs of October.

The video finds Rich and K.Dot riding around town in futuristic cars before hitting up a late-night food spot.

In September, Rich premiered “New Freezer” on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show. During their convo, Rich revealed that K.Dot asked to be on the track after he heard it at a studio session.

“Kendrick came in there,” Rich said. “He asked me to play some music for him, so I played two records that I had been recording off of my album. So I’m like, let me play him ‘For the Birds,’ another record I did. And then I played him ‘New Freezer.’ Right when he heard it, he was like, ‘Yo, like who else on this song?’ It’s just me. He’s like, ‘Yo I gotta get on this one! This shit’s dumb. This goes crazy.'”
