Roddy Ricch

Roddy Ricch's rise is one of those stories that reminds me how fast hip-hop can move. Out of Compton, he broke through in 2018 with "Die Young," and what stays with me is that his first Hot 100 entry was a tribute to fallen rappers like XXXTentacion. That tells you something about where his head was, grief and ambition tangled together. His voice has that melodic, almost mournful quality that lets him drift between rapping and singing without ever sounding like he's straining. For an artist who came up so young, there's a weariness in his delivery that feels lived-in rather than performed, and I find that compelling.
