"Ballin'" is a song by American record producer Mustard and American rapper Roddy Ricch. The track was released as the third single from Mustard's third studio album, Perfect Ten, on August 20, 2019, though it was available as early as the end of June 2019.[2] The song and its accompanying video received acclaim from music critics, with Complex magazine naming it the Best Song of 2019.[3] It peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Mustard's highest charting song in the US.[4][5] The song received a nomination for Best Rap/Sung Performance at the 2020 Grammy Awards, making it the first time Ricch has been nominated for a Grammy and Mustard's first nomination as an artist.[6][7]

Later in 2019, the two released another collaboration, "High Fashion".
