Roddy Ricch continues to tease Live Life Fa$t album
Roddy Ricch preparing to unleash his second debut album, Live Life Fa$t. He’s been more visible on the internet and he’s been sharing quite a few new snippets. Whether or not these songs will wind up on the album, is still to be determined.
Nonetheless, the Compton native has shared another unreleased verse from a track. “Spilling pain yesterday,” he captured in a caption, as the verse rode out. It’s less melodic than other tracks from the 22-year-old, which is an example of his ability to transition to different musical aspects.
Just last week, Drake rented out the Dave & Busters located in Atlanta’s Dolphin Mall to celebrate the Freebandz rep’s 38th birthday.
This achievement marks the unofficial duo’s first single to go Diamond. “Life Is Good” has currently generated over 1.9 billion views, almost reaching the 2 billion club.

Young Dolph, 36, shot and killed in Memphis, Tenn.
Paper Route Empire label owner, Young Dolph, was shot and killed in Memphis, Tenn. The Wednesday (Nov. 17) shooting took place inside Makeda’s Butter Cookies store, NYDailyNews reports. The 36-year-old rapper was shopping when someone drove up and began letting off rounds, confirmed Fox 13.

There was tension in the early 90s from the two legendary acts. The style of music was very similar: dark production, the triplet flow, and aura of the music. Despite the similarities, what many folks would consider beef, DJ Paul clarified it to be a “misunderstanding”
It wasn’t a real beef,” DJ Paul said to HipHopDX in 2015. “It was more of a misunderstanding because we was rapping about triple six, devil shit, and tongue twisting over slow beats. We had been doing that since 1989 and then all of a sudden when Bone came out—I think it was 1993… We didn’t know the Faces Of Death album because it was their underground stuff. Just like they probably didn’t know our underground stuff. When they came out with “Thuggish Ruggish Bone” and all of that stuff and we hear somebody kind of on our same style: Faces Of Death, redrum, muder, 6-6-6, tongue-twisting. We were like, ‘Damn these dudes done stole our style!’ [Laughs] That’s why we got mad about it. We ran into each other a couple of times and there was a push or something. But there was never no fight or nothing like that.”
The groups would go on to squash their beef in the ladder portion of the 90s — putting out features together and later, they discussed tours together. This battle was scheduled to occur sooner, but, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland had other plans.
Yeah, well, I was talking to ‘em and they kept telling me they was gonna do it, man,” DJ Paul told HNHH. Then, they just ended up changin’ they mind. It’s like, I don’t know why they came in just to stop our thing and then didn’t wanna do it. But whatever, I still got love for Swizz and Timbaland. Love you guys to death.
