Roddy launched into stardom with his album Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial in 2019.
Reviewing the album, Pitchfork noted that “most rappers would sell their soul for his ability to shape his melody to latch onto any relevant sound.”
However, Roddy released his album Live Life Fast in December of last year to mixed reviews.
Pitchfork still applauded the artist’s “uncanny ability to blend in with almost any style of rap” but highlights that “the isolated moments of greatness” in the album “only call attention to how flavourless the rest of the project feels.”
