Rodrick Wayne Moore Jr.[1] (born October 22, 1998), known professionally as Roddy Ricch, is an American rapper from Compton, California. He rose to fame in 2018 following the release of his single "Die Young," which marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100. Moore's first two mixtapes, Feed Tha Streets (2017) and Feed Tha Streets II (2018) received widespread acclaim.[2] Moore guest featured alongside Hit-Boy on Nipsey Hussle's 2019 single "Racks in the Middle"—which earned him a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance—and on Mustard's single "Ballin'" that same year, which peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and received a nomination for the same award.
Moore signed with Atlantic Records to release his debut studio album, Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial (2019), which debuted atop the Billboard 200.[3] Its single, "The Box" topped the Billboard Hot 100 and received diamond certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Its follow-up, "High Fashion" (featuring Mustard) peaked within the top ten of the chart, while his guest performance on DaBaby's 2020 single "Rockstar" became his second number-one song.[4] Moore's second studio album, Live Life Fast (2021) peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 and saw moderate critical response; its lead single, "Late at Night" received platinum certification by the RIAA.
Moore has won several accolades, including a Grammy Award from ten total nominations, as well as two BET Awards, two BET Hip Hop Awards, and an American Music Award.
