Rapper, One Life to Live actor, and all around inspiration Riff Raff is weird and unconventional in all the right ways. Like Lady Gaga, Riff Raff started as a character but the lines between Riff Raff and Horst Christian Simco have merged so well that art is imitating life. After almost ten years in the rap game, Riff Raff has made fans out of a myriad of rappers delighting with his hilarious punchlines, gonzo flow and total internet domination. After lengthy delays, Mad Decent is finally releasing Riff Raff’s sophomore full-length Neon Icon next Tuesday. With higher production budgets, Neon Icon sounds rich and current. “How To Be The Man” is Riff Raff at level 10 crazy, spitting random nonsense over an immaculate DJ Mustard beat. Neither Riff Raff or DJ Mustard hold back, making the track easily one of Riff Raff’s best.

Riff Raff plays with Grandtheft tonight at the Fillmore Silver Spring. Tickets are $33.
