Philthy Rich on 'Hood Rich 4' Mixtape: 'I Don't Want to Be with the Local Rappers'

Philthy Rich is prepping the release of his new Hood Rich 4 mixtape, and the Oakland-repping rapper stopped by FM to discuss what fans can expect from the upcoming project. "I take pride in trying to do it bigger and better than the last one," he tells us. "I actually compare my CDs to each other, and to other major artists. I don't want to be with the local rappers. I didn't start rapping to stay local."

The artist also reveals he worked with an eclectic mix of producers and fellow rappers including Zaytoven, Shawty Fresh, Young Dolph, Birdman, B.o.B., Jim Jones, Soulja Boy and more. "I'm not trying to create the sound, I'm just giving you my sound," Rich says.
