In the late 80s, he burst onto the music scene as part of the hip-hop group The Beast Crew.
In 1990, Kid released his debut album, Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast. To promote the album, Ritchie toured nationally with Too Short, Yo-Yo, D-Nice, and Ice Cube.

On February 1, 2007, Kid and Pamela got divorced.
Ritchie later said that he decided to divorce Anderson when her comments about his family upset his son. ”When I saw it starting to affect him, that’s when I stepped back, and I was like, un-nnh,” Kid confessed in an interview. ”That’s it. And that’s the morning I filed for divorce.”

”I like the way you hold my hand/And play just like my baby grand.
I like how you don’t give a damn/And love me just the way I am.”
