Philthy Rich is a presence. When he walked into the No Jumper studio, the whole mood changed a little as we realized that we were in the same room as one serious motherfucker. We proceeded to have an excellent chat about all things Bay Area, his countless connections and collaborations he's been involved with, recording a video at a bodega with Gucci Mane himself and much more. Enjoy!

Rapper Philthy Rich shares his experience dealing with corrupt cops in the Bay area and details a few uncomfortable past run-ins. During his sit-down with DJ Vlad, Philthy recalls a time when police demanded him to cooperate and divulge information regarding a murder. As he kept mum, he says the police decided to arrest him and pin an unknown amount of crack cocaine on him."They said they got it off me." When I went to court, it was his testimony against mine." He says instead of fighting it; he decided to take a deal despite being innocent.
Another time, Philthy says he was in his Bently with three other Black men when he was pulled over. Although he admits that he was riding "dirty," the officer checked his paperwork and asked why the car smelled like weed. Philthy tells DJ Vlad that he doesn't smoke, and the car was odorless of any drugs. Eventually, the cop didn't like Philthy's response and demanded that he get out of the car over claims of probable cause.
Despite having $2 million in luxury cars, Philthy Rich talks to DJ Vlad about purchasing a Bentley, which he later found was stolen and faced the legal backlash for nearly seven months. The rapper says he bought the car in cash with the proper paperwork and only discovered that the car was stolen after leaving the club. "They ran the car when I was inside the club, so when I got in the car they [were] already waiting for me," Philthy said. Once approached by the police with their guns drawn, he and his friend were arrested and hauled off to jail. Fortunately, Philthy says he was reimbursed for the car and legal fees by the dealer and was later cleared of the charges after the case was dismissed. Free from the burden, the rapper says the police had one stipulation before walking away, "They told me don't go after the car because If I go after the car that would be receiving stolen property knowing that it's stolen."
