Rawlings served in the United States Air Force. He was stationed in South Korea and at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Rawlings is most notable for frequently appearing in sketches on Chappelle's Show and hosting the third season along with Charlie Murphy. His catchphrase on the show was "I'm rich, biaaaaatch!"

He demonstrated his rudimentary knowledge of Korean, which he learned in the Air Force, in the sketches "Player Hater's Ball" and "The Time Haters", the latter of which was featured in the "Failures" episode.
