Background and release
[edit | edit source]According to Rich Brian in a sit-down interview with Complex, the song's creation happened at a friend's house, when he invited Brian over to record a song together, to which Brian agreed. From there, Brian and his friend recorded and mixed the beat for "Dat $tick". According to Brian, he cited how it took him nearly two weeks to fully write the entire song. Brian then released the song on March 11, 2016, on streaming services.[1] Following the release, the track began to go viral, which led to Brian getting signed by 88Rising. In the song, Brian used the use of "nigga", to which people didn't have a problem with, until later,[2] and to Brian, he stated how he used the word to help remove power from it, causing people to be less sensitive towards it. But Brian soon realized that he shouldn't have used the word.[1]
