The Los Angeles native just earned his first Diamond certification from the RIAA for his hit “The Box,” which has officially moved 10 million units in the U.S. since its release two years ago. The song, which appeared on his 2019 debut album Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial, spent 11 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In addition to “The Box,” Ricch has a lot of other successful songs off the project: “High Fashion” is 4x Platinum and “Start With Me” is 2x Platinum, while “Boom Boom Room,” “Big Stepper,” “Bacc Seat,” and “Peta” are all Platinum.Now, Roddy is gearing up for a new era with his highly-anticipated sophomore album Live Life Fast, which arrives Dec. 17.
