Born in Atlanta, Rich Homie Quan rose to fame in the early 2010s and found mainstream music success with his 2013 single "Type of Way." His 2015 single "Flex" peaked at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Rich Homie Quan was a member of the music group Rich Gang, where he produced music and a number of top hits in the 2010s as a solo artist. Quan was known for his "melodic flow and catchy hooks," as described by entertainment magazine Variety.

He was born on Oct. 4, 1990, the medical examiner's office said. In 2011, he started making trap music and collaborated with fellow Atlanta rappers such as Young Thug and 2 Chainz and other big-name rappers such as Gucci Mane, Trinidad James, YG and more, according to Variety.

An incident report from the Atlanta Police Department that was taken on Sept. 5 shows officers responded to a medical call at a home along Hamden Forest Drive SW in Atlanta just after 11:20 a.m. The 33-year-old appeared to be unresponsive.

He was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the report indicates. While an autopsy has been performed, an official cause of his death has not been released yet. 

The rapper was the oldest of three siblings, according to Rolling Stone.
