Roddy Ricch has been one of the biggest stars in hip-hop over the past year and it all started with his debut studio album, "Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial," in December 2019. With that project, it contained the chart-topping hit single, "The Box."
Roddy has been very quiet with music releases in 2020 but that may change soon after a recent Instagram Live session. There, he revealed that he has a song with Travis Scott that is on the way.

The Travis Scott meal featured a medium Sprite, a Quarter Pounder with bacon, and fries with barbeque sauce. Merchandise was also available for purchase in this campaign.
