Personal life

Early life

In school, Lamar was a 'quiet kid' with an interest in poetry. He had a particular interest in reading. Literature was his favorite subject and enjoyed creative writing classes.

Rich Homie Quan played baseball for four years, while he attended Atlanta, Georgia's Ronald McNair Sr. High School, and had aspirations to play professionally. As center fielder and leadoff hitter, Quan began playing at the varsity level during his freshman year and earned a scholarship offer from Fort Valley State University. However, Quan decided to focus his interests elsewhere; he began rapping and got a job at a nearby airport. When he lost his job, Quan got involved in illegal activities which included stealing, and that eventually led to him serving 15 months in prison for burglary. "I never saw myself going this far with music. Music was just a hobby at first. I never saw myself being on stage and rocking out shows. After I got out of jail, I started to take it more serious, and that’s when my dream came true.", he said in an interview to XXL. When he got out of jail, he decided he would be shy no more. "I knew this was all I had and I wanted to go hard at it, so that's what I did", he said.

Take My Hand

"Take My Hand" is a song written by Dido Armstrong and Richard Dekkard and is the closing track on Dido's multi-million selling 1999 album No Angel. The song starts in a strong and broody mood and builds up to a crescendo of strings and guitar at the end.

In June 2004 the song was covered by DJ Darren Tate under his Jurgen Vries guise and it reached #23 in the UK Singles Chart. Dido did not perform vocals on this track, they were done this time by Andrea Britton. This version contained mostly electronic instruments and had a more upbeat tempo throughout.
