Press Play: Rich Amiri Drops New Single "Paranoid"

Rich Amiri kicks off a bold new chapter with the release of “Paranoid,” his first single of 2025 via Internet Money/10K Projects.

Swapping his high-energy rage sound for a more polished, melodic edge, Amiri delivers introspective bars and a catchy hook alongside a mysterious female vocalist. “Paranoid” arrives fresh off his sold-out Summer Fest set in Milwaukee and marks the beginning of his next era — with upcoming project Grit and Grace already generating buzz.

The track follows the success of Amiri’s acclaimed sophomore album WAR READY, home to viral hits like “KEEP IT COOL” and “COUNT MY BANDZ,” and builds on the momentum of his 24-stop headline tour. With a Platinum plaque for “ONE CALL” and a 2024 XXL Freshman nod under his belt, Amiri continues to blur genre lines with his futuristic fusion of soul, trap, and R&B.

Having made waves with early collaborations with Lil Tecca, Summrs, and SSGKOBE, Amiri’s rapid rise from DIY SoundCloud upstart to industry mainstay is only gaining steam. “Paranoid” offers a glimpse of what’s to come — a more refined, introspective Amiri unafraid to evolve.
