ian, the viral sensation whose music continues to divide hip-hop fans and critics, has returned with a brand-new single. The track, Rich In Rome, features Nino Paid and Lazer Dim 700, with a video actually filmed in Italy to bring the title to life.

Today’s release is the second official collaboration between ian and Nino Paid, following May’s Get To It. This time, they’ve added Lazer Dim 700 into the mix, making it feel like a real moment since all three artists were named among 2025’s XXL Freshmen. Their chemistry suggests they’ve spent plenty of time together this summer, and while the lyrics don’t offer much depth, the beat from the ever-reliable Cardo Got Wings is infectious and made to rattle speakers.

Earlier in the summer, ian’s XXL Freshman freestyle took over the internet, sparking endless debates. He carried that same track to Lollapalooza, where the crowd erupted, proving he could turn online chatter into genuine momentum. For someone who many thoughts would only get 15 minutes of fame, the 20-year-old has already built a loyal following.

With Rich In Rome out now and more music on the horizon, ian is showing no signs of slowing down. Just last month, he linked up with Drake, receiving a co-sign that most new rappers could only dream of. How his career develops from here will be fascinating to watch. In the meantime, give the new track a listen below.
