Roddy Ricch Reacts To His Big Wins At BET Hip-Hop Awards

Roddy Ricch is having a huge year, and that much is undisputed.

The breakout star from Compton, California has been on a tear in 2020, with his buzz transferring over from the release of his debut studio album Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial. The album, and several songs on it including “The Box”, have been standouts in a year that provided us with some incredible new music.

At last night’s BET Hip-Hop Awards, which were dominated by Megan Thee Stallion’s multiple wins, Roddy Ricch ended up bringing home some important hardware, winning in two major categories: Album Of The Year and Song Of The Year.

He’s appreciative of his wins, logging onto Twitter and saying: “Album & song of the year!! I appreciate all my fans to infinity. Y’all the greatest.”

There has been a lot of talk surrounding the awards show and, specifically, some decisions that they may have gotten wrong. For instance, people are discussing Megan Thee Stallion’s Artist Of The Year win, arguing that Lil Baby was robbed in the category. DaBaby was also snubbed in every single one of the twelve categories he was nominated in, but he doesn’t seem to be too peeved about it, commenting: “Ion think Baby trippin. @bet love Baby, congrats to the winners. #WellDeserved.”

Congratulations to Roddy Ricch on his big wins last night!

Kieran James Honors Memory with “Part of the Grind”

Singer-songwriter Kieran James delivers a devastating new single with “Part of the Grind,” a track to tackle the tangled emotions behind loss and memory. A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.

Set to delicate instrumentation and achingly sung vocals, “Part of the Grind” is both a lament and an honoring, a means of remembering while addressing the unavoidable cost of time and illness. His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.

Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.

In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
