Phillip Anthony Beasley[2] (born January 30, 1983), known professionally as Philthy Rich is an American rapper and convicted felon[3] from Oakland, California.
He began his musical career in 2004 with extensive work with local rappers on various projects. He enlisted rappers including Mistah F.A.B., J. Stalin, and Shady Nate to embark on his "Stan Bizzness BG's" tour, which was cancelled after Beasley was arrested for selling cocaine and cannabis, for which he was sentenced to six years in prison the following year. His subsequent criminal trials include firearms conspiracy, unlawful weapon possessions, and other federal charges.[4]
Despite remaining independent, he has collaborated with mainstream artists including Rick Ross, Migos, Gucci Mane, French Montana, B.o.B, Jeremih, Fabolous, Waka Flocka Flame, Chief Keef, Juelz Santana, E-40, and Kaz Bałagane among others.
