Horst Simco’s rap career began in 2005 where influenced by fellow Texan rappers Devin the Dude and Paul Wall, he would record his rapping over existing rappers’ beats. Simco would then hand them out at malls and later utilised the likes of Myspace, YouTube and WorldStarHipHop to get his name out there.
In 2009 Riff Raff appeared on the MTV reality show “From G’s to Gents” and had a MTV tattooed on his neck so he could legally go by the name MTV Riff Raff on his mixtapes. The rapper got eliminated in the second episode but was remembered for his bizarre and extravagant persona. Soon after the rapper collaborated with Dirt Nasty who contacted him after Simco rapped his phone number out in one of his songs.
After a brief stint on Soulja Boy’s label S.O.D. Money Gang Inc. in 2011, Riff Raff worked with Harry Fraud and Action Bronson and produced the song “Bird on a Wire”. The song and video generated lot of online buzz and led to Riff Raff being signed to Diplo’s Mad Decent label although he released his debut album “The Golden Alien” independently.
The rappers follow up album “Neon Icon” was released on June 24, 2014 and was his major label debut. The album received positive reviews with Rolling Stone placing it on their “27 Must-Hear Albums of 2014” and included collaborations with Mac Miller, Childish Gambino and Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors.
Hailing from Houston Texas, Riff Raff is a seasoned pro at his trade of hip-hop, which he performs this afternoon to this adoring audience of hip-hop hungry patrons, who are doing shots of Patron. Pun intended. This eclectic rapper performs a slew of some of his biggest singles to date, some of the songs that gave him the name that he has today amongst this audience.
The atmosphere is absolutely electric, as he is accompanied by not only his DJ behind him, but there are about twenty women, all holding huge cardboard cut outs of his face. Maybe that’s a sign that you’ve made it. I’ve got to give credit where it is due, this performance is really something else. Songs such as “Real Boyz” and “Tip Toe Wing in my Jawwdinz” elevate the atmosphere from a 7 to a 9 out of 10. It’s fantastic that he performs his bit that he does on the Katy Perry song, “This is How We Do” too.
