'''DJ Richie Rich''' (born '''Richard Lawson''' in [[Jamaica]]), is a former [[record producer]] and [[turntablist]] who was best known as a member of the [[New York]]-based rap trio [[3rd Bass]]. He was also known as '''Daddy Rich'''. Although he didn't win any major battles in the early 90's, Rich was considered by many to be the best skill/show DJs aka 'turntablists' in the world. He was part of The "Supermen" DJ crew which also included other top DJs such as Scratch, Clark Kent, Miz, Supreme, and Alladin. Rich also appeared in the movie "Juice" in the DJ battle scene, and recorded the scratches for the soundtrack. While working with Third Bass, he was one of the first DJs ever to do a DJ trick routine on TV when they appeared on the Arsenio Hall show. Although, he didn't stay in the forefront and mainstream, he was one of the best and most influential and skilled DJs ever, during the early stages of the worldwide growth of the art we now know as "turntablism".
