Roddy Ricch Performs ‘The Box’ One Last Time On ‘The Late Late Show With James Corden’
The Compton rapper’s hit single is a runaway smash that has been nominated for three Grammys. …
It’s been over a year since Roddy Ricch released his acclaimed and successful debut album, Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial. In that time, the album’s track “The Box” went on to become a surprise hit, spending eleven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Such is the staying power of the song that Roddy was able to extend its run one more time, performing it as the musical guest on last night’s episode of The Late Late Show With James Corden.
Noting that the Compton rapper had received six Grammy nominations for the 2021 awards for “The Box” and “Rockstar” with DaBaby, Corden conducted his interview with Roddy via a giant screen on his set. The two discussed Roddy’s “first Christmas in charge,” leading to a minor meltdown from the host when Roddy revealed he somehow got his hands on “eight PS5s.” Corden also gave Roddy the opportunity to elaborate on his hometown gift giveaway, in which Roddy took over the Compton airport to give away thousands of toys.
Then Roddy launched into his pre-recorded performance, which included a live band, a stripped-down performance in a living room set, and silhouettes of his boys dancing to the song on the wall. Roddy previously performed the song on The Tonight Show and at the 2020 BET Awards.

Trashy Annie Drops a Grit-Soaked Masterpiece with “Let It Kill You”
“Let It Kill You,” a 12-track rock journey by Austin’s own Trashy Annie, is now out. It captures everything bold, gritty, and unapologetically honest about modern rock. Award-winning songwriter Annie Davis leads the band. They thrive on the beautiful clash of outlaw-country storytelling and explosive hard rock energy. This new record is their most daring work yet.
“Let It Kill You” is 38 minutes and 18 seconds long, taking listeners on an emotional rollercoaster from heartbreak to redemption and chaos to clarity. It’s the sound of a band that won’t play it safe; instead, they choose to live and die by the fire of their art.
The album starts with loud guitars and vocals that cut through the noise, making it clear right away that Trashy Annie is a force in rock music. “Save Me” mixes the raw power of electric riffs with the vulnerability of soul-baring lyrics. “Some Strange” has a dark, bluesy swagger that oozes danger and desire. Then there’s “Sugar,” a sexy song that stands out because of its catchy hooks and Annie’s fierce, intoxicating voice.
Each song sounds like a page from Annie’s diary, written without fear, emotion, or editing. The band’s blend of country grit, classic rock chaos, and a modern edge makes “Let It Kill You” impossible to ignore. Trashy Annie was born during the pandemic and made in fire. She stands for the spirit of rebirth and rebellion. “Let It Kill You” is a way of life. It’s about going after your passion so hard that it could kill you, but doing it anyway because that’s what makes life real.

Roxy Rawson Finds Light in the Shadows with “I Found a Place in the Woods”
Music is very sacred because it can convey both pain and peace simultaneously. Roxy Rawson‘s new single, “I Found a Place in the Woods,” does just that. This haunting, ethereal masterpiece by well-known composer Jherek Bischoff is out now on November 7th. It’s an emotional landscape made up of solitude, strength, and quiet rebirth. Roxy Rawson transforms folklore into a deeply personal story about her own journey through divorce and starting anew, inspired by the fairy tale “The Three Ravens.” The song takes you to a magical place where loss and healing meet, where grief slowly gives way to hope under the cover of old trees.
Bischoff’s production is both rich and delicate. It layers Rawson’s angelic voice over haunting strings and textures that seem to breathe with life. The song has an organic stillness to it, like being in the woods after a storm, when all you can hear is the rustling of leaves and the sound of your own heartbeat. Roxy’s voice is both weak and strong, like sunlight coming through branches after a long night. Every lyric feels like it was meant to be, and every pause makes you think. It’s the sound of finding yourself again in nature’s quiet embrace, a moment of giving up that turns into a song of survival.
Rawson doesn’t just give you a melody with “I Found a Place in the Woods.” She provides a safe place for you to go. It’s the kind of song that sticks with you long after it ends, like a memory of finding peace in the middle of chaos. This song is one of Roxy Rawson’s most personal and mighty works to date. It’s perfect for fans of ethereal storytelling, cinematic folk, and emotional honesty. It reminds us that beauty can flourish even in the face of loss, and that sometimes healing begins with simply finding a quiet place to be.
