Rodrick Wayne Moore Jr. (born October 22, 1998), known professionally as Roddy Ricch, is an American rapper from Compton, California. He rose to fame in 2018 with his single "Die Young", which peaked at number 98 on the Billboard Hot 100. Ricch's first two mixtapes, Feed Tha Streets (2017) and Feed Tha Streets II (2018), also received widespread acclaim. In 2019, Ricch was featured on Nipsey Hussle's single "Racks in the Middle", which earned him a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance, and on Mustard's Grammy-nominated single "Ballin'", which reached the top 20 of the Hot 100.

Ricch's debut studio album Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial (2019) was released through Atlantic Records and Bird Vision Entertainment and debuted atop the Billboard 200. It spawned the Hot 100 number-one single "The Box", which earned him a Diamond certification by the RIAA, as well as the single "High Fashion" (featuring Mustard). Later in 2020, Ricch's feature on DaBaby's single "Rockstar" became his second number-one single on the Hot 100. His second album Live Life Fast was released in 2021.

Ricch has won several accolades, including a Grammy Award from nine different nominations, as well as two BET Awards, two BET Hip Hop Awards, and an American Music Award.

Ricch was originally supposed to be the musical guest on the January 15, 2022 episode of SNL, but due to COVID exposure, he was replaced by the band Bleachers. He later appeared on the May 14, 2022 episode, with musical guest Post Malone, performing the song "Cooped Up".
