Young Roddy has been releasing music at a prolific rate. He’s released ten tracks as of December of last year, including singles with Killer Mike and Conway The Machine, as well as a seven track EP. Roddy is uniquely positioned in the rap game: he’ll release a slew of tracks with fast flows and hard-hitting drums, then tone it back to deliver heartfelt lyrics over slower, more melodic production. It is this balance that makes Roddy such an exciting artist to watch, which he exemplifies on “Never Question God.”
From front to back, the album paints a vivid picture of Roddy’s come up. Despite Roddy discussing the hardships he’s faced, each track empowers its listeners – encouraging and motivating throughout the album. He experiments with different production, yet also delivers the patented soulful sound he created with Curren$y as they built the Jet Life movement from the ground up. Roddy steps into the limelight with his new album, and as such, he has tapped a few of the hottest artists in hip-hop for dynamic collaborations.
Across his career and within his music, Roddy has always maintained a level of authenticity that is refreshing and genuine, and it’s no different on “Never Question God.” The album shows that Roddy still has the same penchant for irresistible flows and uncanny ability to create anthem-like hooks.
