Ricky Hil

"Right now, I'm pushing boundaries. I'm working harder—but thinking less," says veteran rapper, singer, and Limosa Nostra founder Ricky Hil. "I'm not letting anything slide—no clichés or lazy lines." Hil's career has garnered over 50 million streams, featuring highlights such as the Lil Peep collaboration "Lost In The Mail", 2014's breakthrough "Nomads" with The Weeknd, and solo standouts "Pimp C" and "Amerikan." Nearly two decades in, he remains committed to fusing cultures, breaking barriers, and leading with authenticity. "Every year, I try to add something new to my arsenal," says Hil, who will release 10,000 Grams, a thematic sequel reunion with hit-making producer Lex Luger. Hil made his first splash working closely with esteemed A&R Sickamore, Ricky burst onto the rap scene, making acclaimed mixtapes like the 2009 Don Cannon-hosted Limos Were Cool In The 90's. Subsequent high-profile recognition coincided with genre-fusing collaborations. Since launching his imprint, Ricky Hil has cemented himself as a DIY mainstay, dropping acclaimed projects including 2015’s Candy Painted Coffins and the first Lex Luger–produced 500 Grams, onto the introspective Same Sh*t Different Day and raw Suicidal Hil to 2023’s benchmark Limosa Nostra Act 5, along with two Problem Children volumes alongside Ouija Macc. Along the way, Ricky’s vulnerability has brought him closer to the audience, along with a merch line which he personally designs.
