WHY THE RICH FLIP

Experience the legacy · witness the process · be part of the culture
Little Richard didn't simply make music. He changed what was possible. His fearless creativity helped shape rock & roll and influenced generations across gospel, soul, funk, R&B, and hip-hop.

The Rich Flip takes that spirit of experimentation and brings it into the world of sampling, beat making, sound design, live art, cultural storytelling, and community.
