Roddy Ricch already won 2020. Following the release of his debut album, Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial, "The Box" soared to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for weeks on weeks. Then, just last week, he earned his second number-one single with DaBaby's "Rockstar." However, it looks like he's striving towards having a third number-one single by the time the summer ends.

Now, we all know that Roddy Ricch and Mustard have a great rapport together on wax. They've linked up on the 2019 anthem, "Ballin" and most recently, on "High Fashion." Roddy hit Twitter earlier today where he called on Mustard for summer vibes. "It's summer @mustard, u ready?" He tweeted. As excitement built up in the reply section, Mustard swooped in, writing, "What summer have we not been ready?" Touché.
Perhaps we can expect the two to release the new single in the coming weeks, Roddy Ricch did recently hit at dropping the music video for "High Fashion" last month.
It has undoubtedly been a massive year for Roddy Ricch already. Along with his chart accomplishments, he also won his first Grammy this year for his contributions to Nipsey Hussle's single, "Racks In The Middle" alongside Hit-Boy.

Kanye West and his renowned Sunday Service Choir decided to pay homage to one of the up-and-coming hip-hop artists of this current generation in Roddy Ricch, performing his hit singles "The Box" and "Ballin." While there has been turmoil in the midst of the Sunday Service Choir after supposedly 30 members of the collective were reportedly fired, they've been able to maintain a level of relevance by performing during NBA All-Star Weekend in Chicago, bringing the clan to Miami for Super Bowl weekend, and even honoring Kanye's friend and inspiration, Kobe Bryant with an exclusive one-time performance. Now, the Kanye West-led group is back with gospel renditions of one of the biggest hits of the year.

As soon as the beat comes in the choir begins flipping Roddy Ricch's infamous opening bars to "The Box," singing, "Pullin' out the coupe at the lot, gotta thank God for the drop..."
Kanye West and his massive clique also performed a chilling version of Nas' "Everything" as well as some cuts from his latest LP, Jesus Is King (2019). Justin Bieber also made an appearance at the undisclosed location to perform Marvin Sapp’s legendary gospel single, "Never Would Have Made It." But while The Biebs might have increased the star power in the room, it was Roddy Ricch's "The Box" and "Ballin" that shifted the energy in the room.

Roddy Ricch and Mustard's "Ballin'" was undoubtedly one of the biggest hip-hop records last summer. As Mustard continues to promote Perfect Ten, he enlisted Roddy to return to the Jimmy Fallon stage where they performed "Ballin'." The producer and rapper performed in a similar set up to Roddy's earlier set on Fallon this week. Of course, the two Los Angeles natives made sure to pay homage to Kobe Bryant during their set. "Rest in peace to the legend, Kobe Bryant," Mustard said towards the end of the performance. Earlier this week, Roddy rocked a Kobe jersey for his performance of "The Box."
