Daddy Rich – The Soul & Sound of F.A.M. ENT
Coming straight out of the Southside of St. Louis, Missouri, Daddy Rich (born Richard Lee Shaw Jr.) is more than an artist—he’s the living embodiment of F.A.M. ENT’s mission, legacy, and future. As one-half of the elite duo StaQues Brothers, Daddy Rich stands tall as a pioneer of street heat, lyrical depth, and cultural consistency.
His roots run deep in the city and even deeper in hip-hop. From early roles in foundational groups like Illustrataz, Thorough Breadz, GOODFELLAZ, and as the voice of SALMONELLA CAMP, Daddy Rich has carried the torch for underground music with honor. Influenced by the likes of Mobb Deep, M.O.P., Kool G Rap, Nas, Jay-Z, and Black Thought, his pen game is sharp, seasoned, and soaked in life experience.
At just 13 years old, he penned his first track, “No Question,” marking the beginning of a journey that has made him both a lyrical craftsman and a community cornerstone. His sound? Like a scolding father giving hard truths with a slow, gritty cadence. It’s music with weight—words that teach, challenge, and resonate.
As a core representative of F.A.M. ENT, Daddy Rich isn’t just part of the roster—he’s part of the foundation. His presence reflects everything we value: Family. Artistry. Mission.
🎶 His latest single, “I’ll Remember When” featuring D’Angelo, hits a powerful chord—melding soul and street reflection in a way only Daddy Rich can. It’s a reminder of where we’ve been, and a call to where we’re going.
