Roddy Ricch’s long-awaited sophomore album, Live Life Fast, arrived today. The album follows up the Compton rapper’s 2019 breakout debut, Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial, which topped the Billboard 200 and spawned the #1 hit “The Box.”
Ricch gave fans the first taste of Live Life Fast in July, when he dropped the album’s lead single, “Late At Night.” Then on December 1, Ricch announced the LP’s title and cover art, the latter of which pays homage to late West Coast rapper Nipsey Hussle’s 2018 album Victory Lap.
A little over a week later, Ricch dropped the album’s trailer. In the clip, he explains the meaning behind the Live Life Fast title. “My OG P told me, the goal in life was to have fast money, fast bitches, and fast cars. But the consequences behind that life is glory. But all fast things must slow down,” Ricch says. “And at some point, life will force you to stop. His result was 26 years in a federal penitentiary. I’ve realized I’ve lived fast. I want to take my time. Time is the most expensive luxury in the world. It’s something you spend, and never get back. But you never know how much you have left.”
In the days leading up to the album’s release, Ricch also shared a Live Life Fast promotional poster, which revealed its star-studded list of guest appearances. Future, Lil Baby, 21 Savage, and Ty Dolla $ign are four of the whopping 10 features to make the list.
