Fresh off being named a “Producer to Watch” by Splice in March 2025, Rick Life is already proving why she’s a rising force you need to know. On her latest release, True Side, the Japanese producer and artist teams up with rapper Siu Bear to craft a silky blend of R&B grooves and Japanese rap that feels effortlessly fresh and emotionally charged.

Inspired by the smooth, magnetic vibes of artists like Jeremih and Ty Dolla $ign, Rick Life lays down a lush, late-night beat that creates the perfect canvas for Siu Bear’s fluid verses. Together, they strike a balance that’s both hypnotic and heartfelt—Rick Life’s polished production elevating every nuance of Siu Bear’s flow.
