Quan turned to a career in hip-hop following a 15-month stint in jail for burglary. He made his musical debut in 2012 with mixtapes "I Go in on Every Song" and "Still Goin In."
Quan's 2013 single "Type of Way" marked his mainstream breakthrough. The trap track went on to sell half a million copies, and a remix featured appearances from Meek Mill and Jeezy.
The 2015 mixtape, "If You Ever Think I Will Stop Goin' in Ask RR (Royal Rich)," earned Quan another hit with "Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)," which was certified triple platinum.

Quan released his debut album, "Rich as in Spirit," in March 2018 on Motown Records.
"I never saw myself going this far with music," Quan told XXL magazine in 2014. "Music was just a hobby at first. I never saw myself being onstage and rocking out shows. After I got out of jail, I started to take it more serious, and that's when my dream came true."
