"New Tooth" is Brian's internal monologue as he fights back his own self-doubts, negative impulses, and creative blocks. "New Tooth" shows Brian's growing proficiency as a rapper and ambition as an all-around artist and producer. Throughout the song, Brian switches up his flows and modulates his voice as the sinister piano riff gives way to a dreamy theremin melody midway through. Accompanying "New Tooth" is an arresting new music video that is directed, scripted, and edited by Brian himself. The music video is a cinematic police drama starring Brian as a S.W.A.T. officer turned business mogul as he exacts his revenge on a double cross agent. The music video is inspired by critically-acclaimed police thrillers such as The Raid and Infernal Affairs. In “New Tooth”, Brian showcases his acting chops following the announcement of his acting debut for the film Jamojaya, directed by the critically-acclaimed Justin Chon (Blue Bayou, Ms. Purple). "New Tooth" caps off a triumphant year for Brian as he reached new heights in his career. Brian notched his first-ever U.S. Top 40 radio hit for "edamame" with bbno$. About Rich Brian: Growing up homeschooled in Indonesia, Brian found the Internet to be his English teacher and window to the world beyond. After moving to America alone at the age of 17, Brian has been both awed and humbled by his experiences, as they simultaneously smack him down to Earth and lift him up. After making the leap to America, Brian has experienced all the glory of “making it” - from collaborating with the likes of 21 Savage, Offset, and Playboi Carti, to selling out shows and playing festivals around the world. Brian’s debut project Amen, released in February 2018, garnered widespread critical acclaim and topped the iTunes Hip-Hop charts - a first in history for an Asian musician. Brian has since gone on to sell out shows across North America, Europe and Asia, and festivals around the world including Bonnaroo and Rolling Loud. In 2019 he released ‘The Sailor’, Brian’s second full length album. The album received critical acclaim, with Hypebeast proclaiming, “Rich Brian flawlessly tackles his sonic growth and Asian identity.” Featuring production from Bekon & The Donuts, 1Mind, Frank Dukes and Rich Brian himself, ‘The Sailor’ documents Brian’s coming-of-age in the public eye, which has taken him from an Internet-born rapper to an Indonesian icon and hero for Asian youth around the world. The album features singles “100 Degrees”, “Yellow”, and “Kids”, and has been streamed over 500M times globally. After spending months in quarantine, Brian followed up “The Sailor” with the “1999” EP. A sonically diverse project borne out of months of social isolation, the majority of the EP is both self written and produced. 2021 has proved to be a triumphant year for Brian as he reached new heights in his career. Brian notched his first-ever U.S. Top 40 radio hit for "edamame" with bbno$. Brian also just completed production for his feature film debut as the lead role in Jamojaya, directed by the critically acclaimed Justin Chon.
