Mekel Thomas is a C.E.O and a member of the rap/hip hop group RichHoodMpire: consisting of Jamel Thomas a.k.a Hk20dRichJay (born June 11, 2002), and Jeremiah Benton a.k.a H19dRichNard (born July 22, 2002).
The RichHoodMpire name and its components began to stand out in Atlanta’s independent music scene after the release of their initial 2018 project, “Heartless.” A year later, in 2019, the release of cemented them as one of Atlanta’s most versatile groups.
RichHoodMpire’s music is defined in the struggle for survival and to see the best of life in the worst situations. Success and fame do not go unnoticed by H19dRichKel, Hk20dRichJay and H19dRichNard. For this reason they have always sought to differentiate themselves from the rest of the musical artists of their locality. They managed to create their own characteristic sound with the incorporation of elements of retro video game sounds in their songs. To this day, RichHoodMpire has a total of 9 albums between H19drichnard and Hk20drichjay.

What motivated us was music when you listen to your own music and it’s hard that it makes you want to keep trying harder, it’s like art.
