Perhaps he is still reeling from the massive success of his hit single “ The Box“, which just came out in 2020. It proved to be one of the best-selling songs of that year, going septuple-platinum in the United States as well as coming in at third place on the Billboard Hot 100 2020 year-end chart. And prior to that Roddy had a couple of other notable hits, such as 2018’s “Die Young”. And to note, “Late at Night” is actually the first non-collaborative, non-live track he’s put out since “The Box”. Addressee is Special to RoddyĪnd indeed, what all of these assertions lead back to is such an idea, that this lady holds a special place in Roddy’s heart. And accordingly as the title illustrates, it is she that he wants to be with “late at night” as well as, as illustrated in the chorus, “in the morning”.Ĭonclusively what he is saying is that since he’s committed to her – or as some may say in the ‘hoods he’s willing to “ride with” her – then he’s expecting a comparable level of commitment in return.īeing released by Atlantic Records and another label called Bird Vision Entertainment on 4 June 2021, this is actually the first solo joint Roddy Ricch has put out this year. That is to say that since the addressee is a romantic interest that Ricch really-really likes, he’s going to go out of his way to treat her to Gucci, Fendi and what have you, while simultaneously dropping other allusions to wealth throughout. Basically the bottom line in that particular regard isn’t so much that he loves the girl as it is his ability to spread one out that he fancies. Then finally there is the materialistic aspect. But as usual, the rapper is presenting himself as someone who is exceptional in bed. Then secondly in terms of the traditional rap-romance formula, there are the explicit references to sex. There really isn’t much need to get into such wording as found in this song. And although in this case they don’t specifically point to such an idea, that’s the general feeling one gets from the song, that the vocalist is some ‘hood dude. And while we’re on such a subtopic, it has also become quite common for guys to be addressing romantic interests in rap songs who are dating or fraternizing with other males simultaneously. But in this case, Roddy is telling the addressee that it’s only himself that he wants her to concentrate on. The post Roddy Ricch vows to donate Astroworld earnings to victims’ families appeared first on TheGrio.For instance, somehow the lyrics have to allude to the rapper being a gangsta, a playa or what have you. TheGrio is now on Apple TV, Amazon Fire and Roku.

The fest was put on hold in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, and this year marked the return of the annual event in Scott’s hometown of Houston. In 2019, there was a crowd-surge incident that resulted in nearly a dozen injuries and several lawsuits. Scott’s first Astroworld Festival launched in 2018, and was named after his first album, also released that year. Houston PD has my total support as they continue to look into the tragic loss of life.” My prayers go out to the families and all those impacted by what happened at Astroworld Festival. On Twitter Saturday, the morning after the chaos, he wrote, “I’m absolutely devastated by what took place last night. Scott took to Instagram Live on Saturday, where he looked exhausted as he said that he “never imagined” a tragedy of that magnitude. Ye dedicated his Sunday Service “to the loved ones at Astroworld.” The service airs live on YouTube, Triller and Revolt, and just returned last week.Īt least two lawsuits have already been filed against Scott for “negligence” in the deadly catastrophe. Ricch is not the only rapper sending condolences out to those lost and injured at the music fest. Some reports allege that the crowd began to surge about 30 minutes before Scott’s set as a countdown clock helped build anticipation for his headlining show. Only Scott himself - who organized and headlined the Astroworld Festival - performed on its “Chills” stage, where the tragedy took place. Ricch was one of the performers on the event’s “Thrills” stage, a roster of acts that also included SZA, Lil Baby, and Master P. The 23-year-old rapper rose to prominence in 2018 with his hit single, “Die Young.” WHIT✨?
