"With this album, I think I'm saying all the things I really want to say." - Riky Rick on Family Values

Close to the end of last year I was given the opportunity to go through to HYPE and write a few pieces. One of the pieces I was asked to write was a list of my top five rappers of 2014 and instantaneously I knew that Riky Rick had to be put on that list. With such a strong passion for music, Riky continues to gain respect in all aspects of the game.

“I remember all the times they used to sleep on my beats. I was in my bedroom; I couldn’t sleep ‘cause of beats, beats, beats, SP’s, MPC’s, never thought I’d change the world with these MP3’s. First shows I used to play had empty seats!”

 Last year the producer and rapper showed us exactly what he’s capable of doing to our rap game and with the release of Family Values on the 3rd of April, there’s no telling what impact he will have now. Whether it’s dope beats to bob your head to or if it’s sick punchlines to replay, Riky Rick has proven that he is to be taken seriously and wasn’t playing when he said “ek is die antwoord”.


Check out the interview and don’t forget to cop Family Values! Sounds like a potential classic.
