Roddy Ricch Biography

Roddy Ricch is an American rapper born Rodrick Wayne Moore Jr. in 1998. He was born and raised in Compton, California, but also spent time in Atlanta, Georgia, when young. He began rapping at age 8 and began producing beats at age 16. In late 2017 Roddy released his debut mixtape, Feed Tha Streets, and it earned praise from many rappers including Meek Mill and Nipsey Hussle. His debut EP Be 4 Tha Fame was released the following year and he performed alongside Nipsey as a guest at a major Los Angeles show.

During the summer of 2018, Roddy released the single “Die Young,” written after fellow rapper XXXTentacion’s death. It quickly garnered millions of views on YouTube and Spotify. He followed the track up with “Project Dreams” and was featured on Nipsey Hussle’s last single “Racks In The Middle.” A bidding war ensued for the young rapper and it was heavily speculated Meek Mill would sign Roddy Ricch due to the gifting of a Dreamchasers chain during a Philadelphia show. He would later ink a deal with Atlantic and release Feed Tha Streets II.

“Die Young” was Roddy’s first hit, peaking at #99 on the Billboard Hot 100, and it was later certified Platinum by the RIAA. “Every Season” was also certified Platinum. His first major-label project, Feed Tha Streets II, peaked at #67 on the Billboard 200. In preparation for his debut album, he had three singles chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #98, #58, and #73, respectively.

Roddy Ricch ended the year with the release of his debut album, Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and Roddy is preparing to embark on an accompanying tour soon.
