Carter G Rich pours pain into poetry with “Peach Lemonade”

Carter G Rich drips pages of his story into every pulsating beat, and the latest track he’s aimed at his listeners, “Peach Lemonade,” is one brazen, heart-tugging sip of the life he’s led and the man he’s becoming. “Peach Lemonade” is a tune for all the people who have ever felt pain but who have refused to be defined by it. 

Carter, a native of Chicago, honed his street smarts and storytelling skills to contribute to hip-hop’s rich tradition. “Peach Lemonade” is where pain and poetry collide. It’s not slick or over-produced but authentic. His lyrics flow with the rough candor of a survivor, laid atop soulful production that gives every line room to breathe. You can hear the grit of previous relationships, the lessons learned through the journey of a high school dropout, and the reverberations of street life, but there’s a surprising sweetness there too. 

Carter is not a mimic, though fans might detect a flicker of J. Cole or Jay-Z in his delivery, an earthbound authority, the incising lyricism that cuts through ambient noise. But he’s establishing his lane, one marked by a signature live TV appearance on Good Morning Texas and packed shows from Dallas to Atlanta; his music speaks for itself.
