New ep

Grammy Award-winning rapper Roddy Ricch is back with a new EP titled The Big 3.

According to reports, Roddy, whose real name is Rodrick Wayne Moore, Jr., dropped the EP on June 24. It consists of just three songs, as its title suggests: “Real Talk,” “Tootsies,” and “No Mop.”

The Team-up

The 23-year-old initially announced The Big 3 a week ago, on June 17, via Instagram. That day, he shared that he would be going on tour with fellow award-winning rapper Post Malone.

Post also announced the tour, titled the Twelve Carat Tour, via his Instagram page.

“New tour, new music!! @postmalone 4L. Tickets on sale today! The Big 3 on 6/24.”

As such, Roddy’s fans have something else to look forward to as they await his upcoming album. Rumors spread that he would be dropping one after the Calif. native dropped a hint on social media. He shared a photo of himself in the studio with Grammy award-winning producer DJ Mustard. Mustard has collaborated with his fellow West Coast resident for quite some time.

Back in April, Roddy also hinted at an upcoming album when he responded to a Twitter follower about it. The follower and fan guessed that the possible album wouldn’t have any features.

“@RoddyRicch don’t have no features on the next album. Just go hard!!” user @Borntempting said.

The rapper then replied to @Borntempting with a thinking emoji.

Meanwhile, he has been dropping lots of fit pics on Instagram over the past few weeks. Since he’s a relatively quiet person in public, he hasn’t really said much about any forthcoming music.

Earlier in June, he performed at legendary hip-hop station Hot 97’s Summer Jam concert. While he was performing, he had some words for the police. The cops previously arrested him on gun charges.

“F***k NYPD,” Roddy shouted as he led the crowd to chant the same message.

Behind the music

However, this project taps into the truth the lies beneath most black artists who are pushing their careers. 100GrandRoyce raps about actual life experiences, that many can relate to.

On the technical side, you’re getting an artist that knows how to flow his words to paint a picture for the listener while motivating and making them feel good all in the same track. What brings this all together is 100GrandRoyce’s unique ear for production.

Despite 100GrandRoyce’s ups and downs he maintained steadfast on pushing true lyricism and not conforming to other stereotypical or popularized sounds. This project is here to make a statement, and the beats are energetic, and the lyrics are as sharp.

Hip Hop roots

Hip-hop’s place in NYC derives from its birthplace The Bronx and Harlem, NY. Growing up in Harlem only provided grit and style for 100GrandRoyce’s persona.

Following the blueprint, rapper and lyricist “100 Grand Royce” is the total essence of Hip-Hop sound.

“ I hope that moving forward in New York City the police can stop treating artists like gangs and treat them more like businesses. We are all not the same and the sub-genres are important to distinguish who is a rapper, a hip hop star, a drill rapper, a mainstream artist, or hood famous. There are all types of public figures but hope there are more opportunities for the underdogs.” 100 Grand expresses.

With over 10 releases under his belt and building press, there’s no excuse to not play the New York artist. With 2022 almost half way over, 100Grandroyce is dropping new collaborations, new editions of previous projects & more. Check out his latest project below.
