Roddy Ricch had a lot to live up to on his sophomore album. After dropping Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial, the weight of the sophomore curse sat heavily on the Compton rapper's shoulders as demands for a new album grew stronger.
On Friday, he blessed fans with his second album, Live Life Fast. Many fans expressed their displeasure with the 18-song project but there are still plenty of highlights. Towards the latter half of the project, Roddy connects with Lil Baby for "moved to Miami." It kicks off with a jazzy breakdown that's reminiscent of the work of L.A.-based Brainfeeder label. As it transitions into TM88's glimmering trap production, Roddy Ricch and Lil Baby detail their luxurious lifestyle and their boss status in the game.
Check out the song below.
Quotable Lyrics
Playin' with that water, gotta be a shark
Swimmin' with the fishes, duckin' from the narcs
Thirteen, posted middle of the park
If you see an opp, gotta let it spark
