Amen is Rich Brian’s debut project released February 2nd 2018. Rich Brian himself considers Amen being a project, not an album, as told him in an interview with Complex: I’m not really calling it an album. I’m calling it a project. Just because I first started it a year ago, and the plan was to come out with a five song EP. That’s been my mindset. That was the first half of the process of making this project. He also explained his point further: But then in the middle of it we realized, why are we limiting ourselves to just an EP? We’re not really rushing into it, so make it an album. We decided that it was going to be a full 13 song thing in the middle of it. So the reason I’m calling it a project is just because I wish I had more time to work on it as an album. Because an album is something that has a concept and a story from the first song to the last song. However, when a Genius article openly wondered if Brian’s words meant that he would soon follow up this project with what he would consider a proper debut album later this year, Brian shut it down. Three songs from the project, “Glow Like Dat,” “Chaos” and “See Me” were released as singles in 2017 and 2018. Brian’s label 88rising later released the tracklist, a snippet, and an announcement for Amen on January 30, 2018. Amen was first announced on December 19, 2017 in a tweet by Brian:
