Imanuel has collaborated with rappers such as Ghostface Killah, Young Thug, and XXXTentacion, as well as a collection of solo singles. He embarked on his first solo US tour in late 2017.
After facing backlash for his provocative artist name ("chigga", a portmanteau of "nigga" and "Chinese", is a slang term for Asians who embrace hip hop culture), Brian announced in early 2018 on his Twitter account that he would be changing his artist name, first releasing the track See Me as simply "Brian", then adopting the moniker Rich Brian with the release of his début, Amen.

Thinkin' 'bout the times when you would go into my house
Had to let you go like that I'd say it fucked me up
You live in my head without a doubt
Always anxious, got your picture on my necklace
Say I'm smart but never seen a day of campus
Gave me nani don't be sorry we just reckless
Think about you every time I see your drawers
I be on my Mac Demarco shit, break my heart then smoke a cig, even put some cloves in it
Don't test me because my skin ain't thick, hit your walls I need my fix, pull up on you I need
Way more witchu had too much of these hoes
Never told you bout the summer that I spent with my bros
Doin' things like your legs just gon' stay open now they closed
Thought I'd fix the road but now you out here flying on your own, nah
I was just thinkin' 'bout you and it made me think of colors of the space
70 miles up in my coupe and not a thought 'bout stepping on my brakes
I done seen you glow like that I must say that I'm proud
Thinkin' 'bout the times when you would go into my house
Had to let you go like that I'd say it fucked me up
You live in my head without a doubt
Always anxious, got your picture on my necklace
Say I'm smart but never seen a day of campus
Gave me nani don't be sorry we just reckless
Think about you every time I see your drawers
All these parties I attend but never know the celebration
I'll let you do what you want no need for explanation
You go through my mind all day all night it feels like immigration
One of these days I'll fuck around and book a flight up to Manhattan
Don't wanna see you go but I'd do the same as you
Don't see why you would go back to seeing me when you
Didn't wanna hurt my feelings but I couldn't get a clue
Didn't wanna seem perceiving bout the things that you pursue
I was just thinkin' 'bout you and it made me think of colors of the space
70 miles up in my coupe and not a thought 'bout stepping on my brakes
I done seen you glow like that I must say that I'm proud
Thinkin bout the times when you would go into my house
Had to let you go like that I'd say it fucked me up
You live in my head without a doubt
Always anxious, got your picture on my necklace
Say I'm smart but never seen a day of campus
Gave me nani don't be sorry we just reckless
Think about you every time I see your drawers
I be on my Mac Demarco shit, break my heart then smoke a cig, even put some cloves in it
Don't test me because my skin ain't thick, hit your walls I need my fix, pull up on you I need

I done seen you glow like that I must say that I'm proud
I have seen you shine and I feel proud of you
Thinkin' 'bout the times when you would go into my house
Remembering when you used to come to my house
Had to let you go like that I'd say it fucked me up
Breaking up with you hurt me deeply
You live in my head without a doubt
You are always on my mind
Always anxious, got your picture on my necklace
I am always worried and carry your picture with me as a reminder
Say I'm smart but never seen a day of campus
People think I am intelligent, but I have not been to college
Gave me nani don't be sorry we just reckless
You gave me sex, no need to apologize, we were just spontaneous
Think about you every time I see your drawers
I think of you every time I see your underwear
I be on my Mac Demarco shit, break my heart then smoke a cig, even put some cloves in it
I listen to Mac Demarco and smoke cigarettes when my heart is broken, even adding cloves
Don't test me because my skin ain't thick, hit your walls I need my fix, pull up on you I need
Don't provoke me, I am easily hurt and I crave you, I want to be close to you
Way more witchu had too much of these hoes
I want to be with you more than anyone else, tired of being with other girls
Never told you bout the summer that I spent with my bros
I never told you about the time I spent with my friends during summer
Doin' things like your legs just gon' stay open now they closed
We were doing things, but now you are not interested anymore
Thought I'd fix the road but now you out here flying on your own, nah
I thought I could fix things, but now you are doing great on your own
All these parties I attend but never know the celebration
I go to parties, but I don't really feel happy or celebrate anything
I'll let you do what you want no need for explanation
You can do whatever you want, no need to explain to me
You go through my mind all day all night it feels like immigration
You are always on my mind, it's like you have immigrated into my thoughts
One of these days I'll fuck around and book a flight up to Manhattan
Maybe one day I'll book a flight to Manhattan for fun
Don't wanna see you go but I'd do the same as you
I don't want you to leave, but I understand if you want to
Don't see why you would go back to seeing me when you
I don't know why you would want to be with me again when you
Didn't wanna hurt my feelings but I couldn't get a clue
You didn't want to hurt my feelings, but I didn't understand
Didn't wanna seem perceiving bout the things that you pursue
I didn't want to judge you for the things you want to do
I was just thinkin' 'bout you and it made me think of colors of the space
Thinking of you made me think of the colors of space
70 miles up in my coupe and not a thought 'bout stepping on my brakes
I am driving fast and not thinking about slowing down

@vyz7454
The fact that this song is Self Produced by Brian is insane to me. This shows how much talent he has.
@Envious122
Totes agree. And, the level of his English...I just think he's borderline genius.
@AeroDepartment
Also self produced the computer and the software to produce this music. Let’s not forget the mic & speakers too. He also created the circuit boards in his equipments as well as the camera system from scratch.
@Luke44668
It’s because he is asian
