Carter G Rich serves street soul with "Peach Lemonade"

Carter G Rich is doing more than just telling his story, but pumping it into each beat. On his recent single, "Peach Lemonade," the Chicago rapper mans a potent mix of raw storytelling and soulful hip-hop, leaving half a glass of something emotionally bruised but bouncing back beautifully. Carter G Rich also brings a sound that's unmistakably his: an earthbound warmth, a hunger shot through with vulnerability, and a voice that doesn't aspire to impress as much as entice.

Peach Lemonade is a night drive through memories that refuse to vanish. Carter's verses land with weight and truth, stripping back the layers to reveal his survival on the streets, the heartbreaks, and the grind, then funneling it into a sound that feels both contemplative and nourishing. You can hear that this is a song born from experience, not recycled bars.

Growing up on the south side of Chicago and currently playing on stages across the nation, including in Dallas and Atlanta, Carter's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. A self-made man who found his voice in music, he was tearing down sold-out shows and landing on Good Morning Texas, evidence of the ever-growing impact and never-ending grind. That energy hums through Peach Lemonade, in which the pain doesn't weigh you down but lifts you. 

"Peach Lemonade" rides a gliding, melodic beat that is soulful yet understated enough to allow Carter's verses to stretch and settle into the space. It's the sort of song you find yourself replaying because it feels like the clouds parting, or at the very least like an articulation of what survival must sound like.
