Christian Rich is an American-born Nigerian Grammy-nominated production and DJ duo consisting of twins Kehinde Hassan and Taiwo Hassan.[2][3][4][5]

Early life and career[]

The identical twin brothers were born in Chicago and raised in Nigeria for exposure to their father's Yoruba culture.[6] By 2013 they contributed to Drake's #1 Billboard album Nothing Was the Same on the intro of "Pound Cake" which features Jay Z and produced “Crawl” for Childish Gambino's Because the Internet.[7] They produced four tracks for Earl Sweatshirt's #1 Rap Billboard album Doris ("Chum", "Centurion", "Molasses", "Knight"), produced on J. Cole's Platinum, #1 Billboard album Born Sinner ("Sparks Will Fly") and earned a Grammy nomination with Childish Gambino. The brothers produced Vince Staples's big hit “Big Fish” and “Señorita”, Wale/G-Eazy's song “Fashion Week” and Marshmello/Juicy J's “You Can Cry”. They joined Jaden Smith on the joint single “GHOST”. They have production and writing credits with Snoh Aalegra, Juicy J, Anderson Paak and others.
