The ETCs: Roddy Ricch

Last Updated: April 26, 2023
The Compton rapper joins KD and Eddie on Boardroom’s “The ETCs” podcast to discuss his life in hip-hop so far and the story behind his new album, Live Life Fast.

Click here to listen to the full episode.

By the time he turned 22 years old, Roddy Ricch had already won a Grammy Award. All told, he’s been nominated for eight such awards in seven different categories.

Which is what makes it all the more surprising that it’s been more than two full years since he put out an LP. But this week, the Compton MC is back with Live Life Fast.

On the latest episode of Boardroom’s “The ETCs” podcast, Roddy takes Kevin Durant and Eddie Gonzalez through the inspiration and creation of the record, his thoughts on all what he’s accomplished both inside and outside the rap game at such a young age, and his friendship with the departed Nipsey Hussle.

Roddy Ricch’s Live Life Fast officially drops on Friday, Dec. 17.
