Grammy Award-winner Roddy Ricch solidified his position as a compelling force in music after earning a Grammy for Best Rap Performance in 2020 for his feature on Nipsey Hussle’s ‘Racks in the Middle.’ His career trajectory began with the release of his debut commercial mixtape, ‘Feed Tha Streets,’ in 2017, quickly garnering recognition from industry heavyweights such as Meek Mill, Nipsey Hussle, and Mustard. The momentum continued in 2018 with his debut EP, ‘Be 4 Tha Fame,’ and the impactful single ‘Die Young.’ The track achieved significant digital success, amassing over 149 million views on YouTube and 220 million streams on Spotify, demonstrating his burgeoning appeal. That same year, Ricch was featured on Meek Mill’s fourth studio album, ‘Championships,’ and released his second commercial mixtape, ‘Feed Tha Streets II,’ which debuted at number 67 on the Billboard 200 chart. In 2019, Ricch’s collaborations led to major career milestones and critical acclaim.
Beyond his Grammy-winning feature, he partnered with Mustard on the track ‘Ballin’,’ which soared to number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. Following these successes, Ricch signed with Atlantic Records and released his highly anticipated debut studio album, ‘Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial,’ in December 2019. The album immediately topped the Billboard 200 upon its release, holding the number one position for an impressive four non-consecutive weeks. The album’s breakout single, ‘The Box,’ became a cultural phenomenon in 2020, dominating the Billboard Hot 100 for an extraordinary eleven consecutive weeks and achieving diamond certification from the RIAA.
Most recently, in 2024, Ricch contributed to Kendrick Lamar’s album ‘GNX,’ featuring on the track ‘Dodger Blue,’ which debuted at number eleven on the Billboard Hot 100. Fans eagerly await his forthcoming project, ‘The Navy Album,’ slated for release in 2025.
