🎤 About the Track

“I’M RICH” was born out of speed and instinct. Poppa Wafer and brainwaveproductions® combined raw Miami energy with European precision sound design. The beat balances rage intensity and smooth flow, leaving space for vocals to carry sharp intent. Glossy. Gritty. Repeat-ready.

🔥 Behind the Collaboration

Poppa Wafer first connected with brainwaveproductions® over an instrumental that immediately cut through the noise. Within an hour of receiving stems, Wafer had written and tracked the song. The result: an anthem for ambition, built for algorithmic lift-off and late-night energy.

💬 Interview with Poppa Wafer

1) Who is Poppa Wafer in your own words?

Poppa Wafer isn’t just a name. It’s the essence of everything I’ve grown into. It started with video games, turned into a musical identity, and now it’s a driving force behind my creative vision. It’s not about being someone—it’s about embodying something real, something lasting.

2) Coming from Miami, how has your city shaped your sound and identity as an artist?

Miami gave me space to discover my voice. The city’s rhythm and diversity influenced how I approach music. Being in college here helped me evolve artistically, and the creative energy around me pushed me to perform, grow, and commit to building something meaningful.

3) What made you first dive into music – was there a defining moment or influence?

Music caught my attention when I was young, especially EDM and dubstep. I started producing on a Chromebook back in elementary school just to explore sounds. By the time I hit high school, I was transitioning into rap. It wasn’t one moment—it was a steady climb that kept pulling me deeper.

4) How did the link-up with brainwaveproductions® happen?

Brainwave sent over a beat that immediately caught my ear. I asked for the stems and locked in without hesitation. Within the first hour, the full song came to life. We had synergy from the jump—his sound matched my pace, and it just worked.

5) What drew you to work on “I’M RICH” together?

I’ve heard beats from Brainwave before. Some didn’t connect with my vibe, and I’m selective about what I touch. But this one felt right. The sound had weight, potential, and it pushed me to create with purpose.

6) Describe the creative process behind the track – how did the vibe come together?

I approached it with a clear vision. I wanted something heavy, but I also wanted it to move with rhythm. I blended aggression with flow, shaping the track to hit hard while staying smooth enough to ride out.

7) How would you define your style? Rage? Melodic? Something new?

I’m always experimenting, but I stay close to the Opium wave. Hard-hitting 808s, sharp melodies, and a sound that grabs attention. My style is a mix of what’s raw and what’s refined—it’s never static.

8) Are there artists or sounds that inspire your current wave?

Ken Carson and Ye definitely spark creativity in me, and I find inspiration in the random tracks I come across online. I’m constantly listening, absorbing, and using every bit of it to shape my own direction.

9) What do you want people to feel when they hear “I’M RICH”?

I want it to activate something. That rush of ambition, power, and momentum. The vision is speed, drive, and elevation—making moves and claiming success.

10) What’s next for Poppa Wafer after this release?

This release is a step forward, and there’s more coming. I’m building, creating, and leveling up. What’s next is bigger. Stay tuned.

11) Any dream collabs or upcoming projects you can tease for BrainwaveMag readers?

Right now, I haven’t found an artist who matches the energy I bring. That’s not to say they aren’t out there—I’m open to being proven wrong. If you can keep up, let’s talk.

12) Any words for your listeners discovering you through this track?

This is only the introduction. I’ve got more heat, more stories, and more vibes ready to drop. Sit back and let it unfold.

13) A message for the brainwaveproductions® community?

Keep your mind moving and your creativity flowing. We’re always chasing energy, catching rhythms, and building something real. That’s the wave we’re on.
