Jalen Taheen Foster (born February 4, 1997), known professionally as Real Boston Richey, is an American rapper from Tallahassee, Florida. He is currently signed to Future's record label Freebandz, and is noted for his usage of Michigan-style hip-hop production. His mixtape Public Housing peaked at number 60 on the Billboard 200.

Career

Richey began rapping in 2021 after the passing of his cousin and from a suggestion from his close friends. In March 2022, he released his single "Keep Dissing". In August 2022, Future appeared on his single "Bullseye 2" and gifted Richey a chain after signing him to his Freebandz record label. Also in August 2022, he released a 17-track mixtape titled Public Housing. In October 2022, Lil Durk appeared on his single "Keep Dissing 2" and its subsequent music video.

Musical style

Alphonse Pierre, writing for Pitchfork, describes Real Boston Richey's music style in the following manner: "That out of town influence doesn’t drown out the idiosyncrasies of a Sunshine State MC though; Richey’s regional drawl makes every word feel slurred and he has a natural melody even though he's not singing. Lyrically, he has a lot of the same problems as the drill-leaning scene across the way in Jacksonville, where nothing ever seems to stick out."
