BAMP Project presents Riff Raff
July 15, 2016 @ 8:00 pm - July 16, 2016 @ 12:00 am
Riff Raff started rapping in 2005, making homemade CDs of his rapping over other artists' beats, and passing them out at various malls in Houston. Riff Raff first came on the scene in 2009 as a contestant on MTV's From G's to Gents, a competitive reality series where hardcore ballers tried to become sophisticates. He credited his early influences being Texas veteran rappers Devin the Dude and Paul Wall.
Thanks to Riff Raff mentioning his phone number in his songs, he was contacted by like-minded rapper Dirt Nasty, along with Andy Milonakis, for some collaborative tracks that landed beginning in 2010, and by 2011 he was signed to Soulja Boy's label and production house, S.O.D. Money Gang Inc. The relationship didn't last long, as Riff Raff signed with Diplo's Mad Decent label in 2012 and issued his mixtape Birth of an Icon. The tape featured early hits like “Jose Canseco” and “Jody Highroller,” along with the Action Bronson team-up “Bird on a Wire.”
Riff Raff announced his intention to release his second studio album Peach Panther on June 1, 2015. The first single, “Spazz Out” featuring production from Travis Barker was released around this time, however the album itself would end up being delayed until 2016. He then released an EP entitled Trench Coat Towers in early November 2015. He has extended the release date for Peach Panther several times, with early 2016 being cited on his Instagram as the current date.
