Background

Rich The Kid spoke to Billboard magazine about what happened to him as an artist following his 2020 album Boss Man, saying he had to deal “with stuff behind the scenes with labels, but I feel like the time that has gone by, I been able to perfect my craft. I’ve been able to perfect the songs and the music and I know exactly what the sound is, what i’m shooting for,” he adds..

Clash wrote that “this is a record that succeeds in bursts, one that sparks into life before moving forwards once more. A noble solo experiment, it allows Rich The Kid to redefine his rules, on his own terms.”

Release and promotion

Following the success of ¥$'s song "Carnival" with Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, Rich officially announced Life's a Gamble. He stated that it would be executively produced by ¥$, consiting of Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign. Initial tracklists and announcements had Carnival as a part of the album due to the song's success. Despite that, it wasn't on the album on launch.

On May 24, 2024, Rich the Kid released the album's second single, "Gimme a Second / Band Man", with "Gimme a Second" featuring Peso Pluma. It was also featured on Pluma's fourth studio album Éxodo.
