RAGS AND RICHES share anthem of resilience, loyalty & unwavering spirit “Yes We Will (Mob Squad)”

Brothers, Tanner and Peyton Whitt, performing as the adrenalized alt-pop duo RAGS AND RICHES, bring high energy hope to inspire a generation of dreamers. Hailing from Lexington, Kentucky, these brothers aren’t just making music—they’re crafting anthems that ignite souls. 

Every band has its defining moment—a point where they choose to rise or let the weight of the world push them down. For Tanner and Peyton it was when a founding member gave them an ultimatum. They believed they were parting on good terms, but betrayal set in and as their success grew, so did the attacks. The misguided mockery resulted in an attempt to slander their fans, but Tanner and Peyton embraced the moment and what resulted is the now official name of their loyal family, friends and fans, “The Mob Squad.”

Tanner and Peyton say, “What was meant to be a taunt became a banner we proudly wave.” Their latest single, “Yes We Will (Mob Squad)” is not just a song—it’s a movement, a rallying cry for anyone who’s been doubted, underestimated, or faced adversity. It represents resilience, loyalty, and the unwavering spirit of those who stand strong in the face of challenge.

With pounding drums, roaring guitars and a chorus that demands to be shouted from the rooftops, “Yes We Will (Mob Squad)” is an anthem for those who stand together. No matter where you’re from, no matter what battles you’ve faced, The Mob Squad welcomes you. And when it’s all said and done, they will remember our name.

“Yes We Will (Mob Squad)” is off of an upcoming EP which marks a new chapter for RAGS AND RICHES. Unlike anything they’ve written before, their new sound blends hip-hop, pop and alternative into one. Covering themes of controversy, the duo reveal real-life, vulnerable stories, from breakups and affairs, to liars and backstabbers. 

Picture this: 300+ shows in 45 states, directly supporting legends such as Smash Mouth, Judah & the Lion, Fitz & the Tantrums and Stop Light Observations, to name just a few. It’s not just about the music; it’s about connecting with audiences on a deeper level, leaving them energized and inspired. When the duo isn’t rocking stages—they’re smashing records too. Winning a Josie Music Award for Pop Artist of the Year, 4 Lexington Music Awards for Pop Artist of the Year (3X Winner) & Song of the Year, clocking in over 11.5MIL+ career streams, and racking up 5.5MIL+ video views all in just 6 years. And let’s talk about their playlist prowess—landing on Apple Music’s coveted ‘New In Alternative’, snagging placements on Spotify’s ‘Nu Disco’ and ‘it’s alt good’ playlists, they continue to push boundaries and redefine the alt-pop landscape. They truly are a force to be reckoned with.

RAGS AND RICHES aren’t just brothers making music—they’re dreamers, creators, and trailblazers. And as they continue to rise, one thing is certain: their journey is just beginning.
