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.
Addiction wears many masks. It lures, it seduces, and it always comes with a cost. The duo’s latest single “Devil In Disguise” dives headfirst into that high-stakes world, painting a picture of temptation and consequence through the glitz and glamor of a blackjack table. They explain, “Inspired by the struggles of Elvis Presley but written for anyone facing their own personal battles, this song pulls back the curtain on the enticing yet destructive nature of addiction.”
From the opening lines, the neon lights flash, the crowd watches, and the thrill of the game is intoxicating. But underneath the surface, the cracks begin to show. He knows the risks, knows right from wrong, but the pull is too strong. The devil whispers sweet lies, dressed like an angel, offering another fix, another hand, another escape. The stakes are high, and so is he.
With a driving rhythm and electrifying melodies, “Devil In Disguise” captures the dangerous dance between indulgence and destruction. It’s a story of glamour and despair, of winning big and losing it all. The metaphor of blackjack mirrors the cycle of addiction—placing another bet, hoping for a win, only to find yourself trapped in a losing game.

The brothers share ”This song isn’t just about one man’s struggle; it’s about the universal battle against our own vices. Whether it’s substance abuse, gambling, or any addiction that keeps pulling us back in, “Devil In Disguise” serves as both a warning and an anthem. The devil may wear a beautiful face, but in the end, the cost is always too high.”
High-energy, raw, and undeniably real, this song is for anyone who’s ever felt the pull of their own demons. And as the final notes ring out, one question lingers—will you break free, or will you be back tomorrow for another hand?
