RODDY RICCH DIALS UP “911”
GRAMMY® AWARD-WINNING, DIAMOND-CERTIFIED RAP SUPERSTAR
SHARES LATEST SINGLE AND OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO
HUGELY ANTICIPATED THIRD FULL-LENGTH LP, THE NAVY ALBUM, DUE LATER THIS YEAR
RIAA Diamond-certified rap superstar Roddy Ricch is back with his eagerly awaited new single, “911”, available now via Bird Vision/Atlantic Records. An official visual premieres today on YouTube HERE, directed by Spike Jordan. The track heralds Ricch’s hugely anticipated third full-length LP, THE NAVY ALBUM, arriving at last later this year. Additionally, Roddy sat down with Eddie Francis on the Zane Lowe show to discuss “911,” and what fans can expect from his forthcoming album “THE NAVY ALBUM”. The interview is available HERE.
Ricch – who lit up Kendrick Lamar’s acclaimed The Pop Out: Ken & Friends Juneteenth event at Inglewood, CA’s Kia Forum last week with an explosive performance during Mustard’s set – made his long awaited return this spring with his first official solo release in close to two years, “Survivor’s Remorse”. The powerful track – which includes a sample from fellow Atlantic recording artist Kelly Clarkson’s 2023 hit, “me” – arrived alongside an official music video, directed by Spike Jordan (Gunna, NAV & Don Toliver Ft. Future) and already boasting over 3M views via YouTube HERE.
A deeply personal response to long lingering questions, “Survivor’s Remorse” marked the first new chapter in what is quickly shaping up as a landmark 2024 for the GRAMMY® Award-winning (and 10x GRAMMY® Award-nominated) artist, including “let it breathe (feat. Roddy Ricch),” his recent feature on Gunna’s blockbuster new album, ONE OF WUN.
With 12.4B overall streams and 6.6B US total streams to date, Roddy Ricch has been praised by Pitchfork as “The West Coast’s premier melodic storyteller.” The self-proclaimed “illustrator of the streets” made an explosive debut with 2019’s 2x RIAA Platinum-certified, chart-topping album, PLEASE EXCUSE ME FOR BEING ANTISOCIAL, highlighted by 11 RIAA certified singles including the 3x GRAMMY® Award-nominated, Diamond-certified #1 classic, “The Box.” Both the album and “The Box” made chart history, dominating as the #1 album and #1 song for three non-consecutive weeks, with “The Box” further ruling atop Billboard’s “Hot 100” for 11 consecutive weeks. Ricch then replaced himself atop the “Hot 100” by scoring his second straight #1 with his feature on DaBaby’s 5x Platinum single, “Rockstar,” which spent seven non-consecutive weeks at the top of the overall chart.
Ricch’s sophomore album, LIVE LIFE FAST arrived in December 2021 and made an explosive #1 debut on Billboard’s “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” chart as well as at #4 on the overall Billboard 200. 2022 saw the releases of THE BIG 3, a three-song collection highlighted by the smash single, “Real Talk,” as well as 2022’s FEED THA STREETS 3, including such critically acclaimed singles as “Twin (Feat. Lil Durk)” and “Aston Martin Truck.”
Ricch is undoubtedly a major musical force, a fact made clear by 2020 “Best Rap Performance” GRAMMY® Award triumph for Nipsey Hussle’s “Racks In The Middle (Feat. Roddy Ricch & Hit-Boy),” along with nominations for “Best Rap Song” (for “Racks In The Middle”) and a “Best Rap/Sung Performance” nod for Mustard’s smash single, “Ballin (Feat. Roddy Ricch).” “The Box” and “Rockstar” received each three nominations at the following year’s GRAMMY® Awards, including “Song of the Year” (“The Box”) and “Record of the Year” (“Rockstar”), with both named among the “Best Melodic Rap Performance” and “Best Rap Song” nominees. Additional honors include an American Music Award, two BET Hip Hop Awards, and two BET Awards, “Album of the Year” for PLEASE EXCUSE ME FOR BEING ANTISOCIAL.
An unstoppable live performer, Ricch has stolen the show on multiple headline tours, festival stages, and on an epic run as special guest on Post Malone’s blockbuster 2022 “Twelve Carat Tour.” He has made a range of high profile TV appearances, including back-to-back performances on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon – HERE and HERE, CBS’s The Late Late Show with James Corden, and more.
