Background and career
Rodrick Wayne Moore Jr. (born October 22, 1998), known professionally as Roddy Ricch, is an American rapper. Born and raised in Compton, California, Moore rose to fame in 2018 following the release of his song "Die Young" — which marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 as a tribute to deceased rappers XXXTentacion, Lil Snupe, and Speaker Knockerz. Ricch's first two mixtapes: Feed Tha Streets (2017) and Feed Tha Streets II (2018) were both met with critical acclaim. In 2019, Ricch guest appeared alongside Hit-Boy on Nipsey Hussle's single "Racks in the Middle"—which earned him a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance—and Mustard's single "Ballin'"—which peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also received a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance.
Ricch signed with Atlantic Records to release his debut studio album, Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial (2019), which debuted atop the Billboard 200—spending four non-consecutive weeks atop the chart. It spawned the single "The Box", which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eleven consecutive weeks and received diamond certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album's final single, "High Fashion" (featuring Mustard) peaked within the chart's top 20, while his guest performance on DaBaby's 2020 single "Rockstar" became his second Billboard Hot 100 number-one song. Ricch's second studio album, Live Life Fast (2021), was met with mixed critical response, also peaking at number four on the Billboard 200. Its lead single, "Late at Night", peaked within the top-20 of the Billboard Hot 100. His third studio album: The Navy Album, has been continually delayed, and has no known release date.
Ricch has won various accolades throughout his career, including a Grammy Award from ten total nominations, as well as two BET Awards, two BET Hip Hop Awards, and an American Music Award.
