"Rags2Riches" is a song by American rapper and singer Rod Wave featuring fellow American rapper ATR Son Son, released on April 3, 2020 as a track from the former's second studio album Pray 4 Love. It garnered popularity on video-sharing app TikTok, being featured in over 5 million videos as of July 2020.[1] An alternate version titled "Rags2Riches 2" featuring Lil Baby was included on the deluxe edition of Pray 4 Love, released August 7, 2020.[2]

Background[edit]

The song was recorded at a hotel while Rod Wave was touring.[3] Comparing the song to another album track, "Ribbons In the Sky", Micah Peters of The Ringer said "Rags2Riches" is "inspiring without being so melodramatic".[4] HotNewHipHop's Alexander Cole called Lil Baby's feature on "Rags2Riches 2" a standout and said the song "comes across like a ballad of sorts, as both artists go in-depth on their success and how they grew up with nothing".[5]
