Marece Benjamin Richards[1] (born September 2, 1983),[2] better known by his stage name Rich Boy, is an American rapper from Mobile, Alabama. He is best known for his 2006 hit single "Throw Some D's" (featuring Polow da Don), which peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100. It served as the lead single for his eponymous debut album, which was released in March of the following year through Polow da Don's Zone 4, an imprint Interscope Records.

The album was commercially successful, peaking at number three on the Billboard 200, although critical reception was mixed to average. His 2009 follow-up single, "Drop" (featuring Polow da Don) became popular through remixes and freestyles by then-upcoming Internet rappers, including Childish Gambino, Kid Cudi, and Earl Sweatshirt. His subsequent releases failed to reach any further commercial response.
