Rich Dollaz is famous for being a music executive who has done most of his work in the hip hop industry.
Rich Dollaz on his real name Richard Trowers was born on August 4, 1971 in Waterbury Connecticut. He grew up while he was under the heavy influence of black music. His family would play records of soul and funk when he was a child. Getting exposed to that type of music would help him in his future career path.
As a young boy, Rich Dollaz witnessed the emergence of hip hop into the mainstream. In the 80s, hip hop and rap was starting to grow its fan base as more and more artists that got their chance on radio and television. No one paid attention to rap or even considered to be a real genre of music until the boom that occurred in the 80s.
His music career began at Bad Boy Records as in intern for Puff Diddy. After gaining his first bits of experience, he soon he started to help the career of numerous artists and bands. Rich was a big part of the “golden age” of hip hop. The early 90s to the mid 90s is considered hip hop’s “golden age” because that’s when being a hip hop artist required undeniable talent and skill. You had to be a quality act in order to stay in the hip hop game. Rich Dollaz and Bad Boy would put themselves on the map during the tail end of the golden age. They would help the genre integrate themselves into the mainstream scene as the casual audience started accepting hip hop as popular music.
Rich Dollaz had a hand in helping many musical artists in their careers but the one thing that he most known for involves a love scandal with a woman named Moniece Slaughter. Moniece and Rich Dollaz were part of a VH1 TV show called Love & Hip Hop New York. In 2015, Rich Dollaz and Moniece had a relationship that blew up in flames. The break up was so heated with anger and disdain, neither cared about keeping their composure. Some couples wanted to keep their dealings private especially when things go bad. They’d rather keep the fights and disagreements within a private space but Rich Dollaz and Moniece didn’t care about expressing their displeasure with each other in public.
The split up couple traded attacks at each other publicly on Twitter. The public and media got to witness first hand the problems that the two were having. Moneice’s statements crafted a negative picture of Rich Dollaz. She claimed that he was a neglectful boyfriend that didn’t pay any attention to her. Rich Dollaz was irked by the claim because it makes him look like a bad partner. He wasn’t happy that Moniece would say things to hurt his attractiveness for a future potential mate.
Valentine’s Day is a sacred holiday for women because it’s when they get to be loved and show love to their partner. Moneice blasted Rich Dollaz for not even getting her a gift on Valentine’s Day. Moniece got over the relationship really quick as she started to date somebody else shortly after the split. She was insisted that they were just dating and not in a relationship yet but her new love already appreciates her more than Rich Dollaz ever did.
