For the foreseeable future, it’s grit over glamour as the shiny trinkets & human-made accolades don’t bang like they used to. “Soul Rich” finds The World’s Most Encouraging Rapper forging a new partnership with Japan’s Toshiki Hayashi(%C). There’s nothing like that intangible peace from knowing your value doesn’t come from material wealth. Stack paper if you must, but when your soul rich, it’s all good even when it ain’t.
