Roddy Ricch

Roddy Ricch, born Rodrick Wayne Moore Jr., is a Grammy-winning rapper and singer from Compton, California who became one of the biggest names in hip-hop. He began making music as a teenager and released several mixtapes that generated buzz in the Los Angeles rap scene. His early projects Feed Tha Streets (2017) and Feed Tha Streets II (2018) showcased his unique blend of melodic rap and street narratives, earning him a growing fanbase and attention from major labels.

Ricch’s feature on Nipsey Hussle’s 2018 track Racks in the Middle proved to be a pivotal moment in his career. The song won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance in 2020, with Ricch’s verse being widely praised. This Grammy win, combined with the tragic passing of Nipsey Hussle, brought significant attention to Ricch’s own music. His debut studio album Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial was released in December 2019 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.

The album’s lead single The Box became a massive cultural phenomenon, spending 11 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 2020. The song’s distinctive beat and Ricch’s catchy delivery made it one of the defining tracks of the year, and it was certified Diamond by the RIAA. Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial was one of the top-selling albums of 2020 and earned Ricch multiple award nominations and wins.

Following the massive success of his debut, Ricch released his sophomore album Live Life Fast in 2021. While it did not replicate the commercial heights of his first album, it still debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200. He has continued to release music and collaborate with major artists. Through his record-breaking album sales, streaming numbers in the billions, extensive touring, and smart investments, Roddy Ricch has built an estimated net worth of $20 million.
