Riff Raff

Horst Christian Simco (born January 29, 1982), known professionally as Riff Raff (often stylized as RiFF RAFF), is an American rapper from Katy, Texas. He was originally managed by Swishahouse co-founder OG Ron C in 2011. After initially signing with Soulja Boy's record label Stacks on Deck Entertainment, Simco signed with producer Diplo's Mad Decent label to release his debut studio album, Neon Icon (2014). Despite mixed critical response, it moderately entered the Billboard 200 along with his second album Peach Panther (2016), which was released by Warner Records. Prior to the latter's release, Simco entered a US$4 million joint partnership with Stampede Management and BMG for his Neon Nation label and production company. The joint deal fell apart in the wake of legal disputes following the release of the 2012 film Spring Breakers.
