Rosemarie & Roddy Ricch: The feelings come out in the 'Is It Real?' music video

While cuffing season is coming up super quick, it’s clear relationship goals all go through the ups and downs and it’s apparent in the new ‘Is It Real?’ music video with Rosemarie and Roddy Ricch speaking up for themselves.

The duo put together a stunning anthem and make the cameras go the cinematic route in their new visual. Peep the details and jump head-first into the new clip.

Rising R&B songstress, Rosemarie, has teamed up with award winning rapper and fellow Los Angeles artist Roddy Ricch for new song, “Is It Real” paired with an equally emotive music video. The song is a powerful duet that plays to Rosemarie’s strength in storytelling and melody work while Roddy’s impassioned vocal work rounds out the song. Speaking on the meaning behind the song, Rosie shares:

“The making of “Is It Real” with Roddy was a special and serendipitous experience. Our artistry as individuals is boundless — and to me, this song is a beautiful intersection of them both. Collaborating with such a giant who I am inspired by, definitely made me want to push my pen, creativity and vocal production further…and I’m extremely proud of what we made.” — Rosemarie

Directed by Ashley Kember, the music video intrigues as it evolves — showcasing the pair in a sprawling Los Angeles home trading verse for verse of their love story… or did they?

The collaborative effort appears on Rosemarie’s Rock Paper Scissors Recut, a deluxe EP,  which came out in tandem with the release of “Is It Real” single and music video. Alongside the Roddy Ricch assisted track, Rosemarie also shares new tracks “Unfortunate,” “Same Page” and worked with rising Los Angeles, CA rapper Kalan.FrFr on “Drop Me.” Rock Paper Scissors EP was first released earlier this year which bore goosebump inducing “Breaking,” (the acoustic performance of which has over a million views on Youtube) as well as, English-Spanish, reggaeton inspired track “Aprovecha.” Listen to the eclectic body of work via:

Need to learn more about Rosemarie? Curious about her deep-rooted connection to the music Culture? Say less.

Raised in a Dominican and Puerto Rican household, her father a DJ and her late mother a singer, Rosemarie learned the beauty and power of music at a young age. An avid journal writer growing up, Rosemarie used written words to express her emotions which nurtured a natural songwriting instinct. Encouraged to post live covers and join in singing challenges, Rosemarie caught the ear of  Bird of Bird Vision Entertainment who signed her to Interscope Records and released a string of modern R&B gems like “03 Love” featuring NOLA legend Juvenile and the sultry full-throated jam “Henny Talk'' followed. The tracks went on to appear on her label debut EP, Sinnergy (2021), which landed on multiple best R&B picks that week including Billboard and Okayplayer and caught the attention of R&B Queen herself, Alicia Keys who cosigned the rising artist for Keys Soulcare. With her songwriting serving as a diary into the hearts of the dreamers, Rosemarie treats soul music as a sacred space.

Earlier this year, Rosemarie released her sophomore EP, Rock Paper Scissors (2023), seamlessly blending her arresting vocals and emotive lyricism on songs like “Fool’s Gold,” “Breaking,” including a first, English-Spanish, reggaeton inspired track “Aprovecha.” Her ability to pen evocative music that withstand the test of time (and arresting creative visuals) has anointed the Los Angeles native as Complex’ 2023 “R&B Artist to Watch” and landed her a Target holiday campaign where together with GRAMMY(r) winning artist Ryan Tedder reimagined Faith Evan’s 1998 classic “Love Like This'' in both English and Spanish. This proceeded Rosie’s next collab moment of the year where she joined forces with award winning rapper Roddy Ricch to pen “Is It Real” — a stunning duet rich in melody and songwriting. A huge year already, Rosemarie intends to stay on the radar with live performances and more music that stretches the boundaries of R&B and childhood influences of hip hop, reggaeton and more.

Rob49: The new Roddy Ricch-featured 'TRX' music video is all types of turn up

Sometimes you just have to turn up and not look back, right? It looks like rap artist Rob49 and Roddy Ricch are keeping the cameras on them these days courtesy of their new ‘TRX’ music video.

The song goes hard but the cinematic flex? Tough. Peep the details and keep scrolling to see then in action.

Fresh off the release of his acclaimed 4God II project,  emerging New Orleans rapper Rob49 releases a video for “TRX” — the Roddy Ricch-assisted standout. Boasting a radio-ready hook and repeatable bars, the track is generating serious heat and stands out as a potential summer smash.  

The video matches the explosive energy of the song with Rob and Roddy trading bars amidst a flurry of quick cuts, stylized images, and strip club partying. Fast cars, $100 bills, and bottles abound as the hitmakers turn up with their crew. VHS footage is interspersed throughout, giving the cinematic visual a gritty texture that aligns perfectly with the hard-hitting lyrics.

While Rob continues to explore the depths of his own psyche and experience, 4God II highlights his skill as a collaborator—and reveals how in-demand he is among rap’s A-list. “BMF” pairs him with Icewear Vezzo and “Hate It Or Love It” with DaBaby, and G Herbo joins the party for “Skeme.” In each of these instances, Rob not only holds his own, but asserts his own style alongside established stars from across the map.

4God II builds on years of diligent grind. His 2022 Mixtape Welcome to Vulture Islandfeatures collaborations with Vezzo, Babyface Ray, Doe Boy, Landstrip Chip, and Lil Baby—to say nothing of the project being introduced by legendary Cash Money Records founder Birdman. With his new mixtape, and cinematic videos like “TRX,” Rob makes it clear that he is not only one of rap’s most exciting rising stars, but a dominant cultural force.

Roddy Ricch freestyling over JAY-Z's 'Give It To Me' goes extra hard

West Coast rapper Roddy Ricch isn’t slowing down the fire. The hip-hop star comes through with an epic Hot 97 Funk Flex freestyle and shows he’s big nice with the wordplay.

From start to finish. It goes extra hard.

Get ready for Roddy Ricch and Lil Durk's 'Twin' music video

Roddy Ricch knows he’s nice-nice with the wordplay but in 2022, it’s all about the visuals. New footage is circulating online showing the West Coast rap heavyweight putting the cinematic flexing together with Lil Durk for their ‘Twin’ anthem.

The music video production looks like endless fun with the fancy Mercedes in the back.
