It feels like it's been a hot minute since we've heard from Ricky Hil. Thankfully, he's back with a new project. Ricky Hil emerged with his latest body of work Same Shit Different Day earlier this week. Though it arrived with only a few days notice, the rapper's latest project offers fans a vivid update on his life, especially for those who have been waiting on new music from him. SSDD was led by the release of "Tryin" and "Break My Heart.
