An influential figure who never stops evolving his sound, Ricky Hil is ready to start the next chapter of his career. The alternative rap innovator dips into his bag, teaming up with trap legend Lex Luger for “HELL VALLEY,” the latest single from his upcoming album 10,000 Grams. Featuring drops from Trap-A-Holics, “HELL VALLEY” is a simmering examination of Ricky Hil’s journey to and from rock bottom, as he rasps bleak, yet somehow inspiring pronouncements about how he lives his life: “I don’t care if I die, I’m dead already,” he intones on the hook. In the video, Ricky Hil broods in a cemetery, digging his own grave and embracing his doom.
“HELL VALLEY” is the latest glimpse at 10,000 Grams, Ricky’s upcoming collaborative album with legendary producer Lex Luger. Hosted by Trap-A-Holics, the album will feature fellow Limosa Nostra artist SosMula and arrives on February 13th (Friday the 13th) via Ricky’s Limosa Nostra Records joint venture with Atlantic Music Group.
“HELL VALLEY” arrives after a big year for Ricky and heralds an even bigger one ahead. In August, Ricky officially established a joint venture between his own Limosa Nostra Records and Atlantic Music Group. Ricky recruited SosMula, the trap metal pioneer formerly of City Morgue, to be the label’s first signee. Sos released his new album, KAMP KRYSTL LAKE, on Halloween, featuring a guest appearance from Ricky on the highlight track “KATHEDRAL.”
A natural-born trendsetter, Ricky Hil has been a fixture in the underground since emerging in the early 2010s. The artist’s dark and melodic sound, focusing inward on his personal issues and rockstar dreams, was a major influence on artists in the SoundCloud era, particularly GOTH BOY CLIQUE and their superstar, Lil Peep. In the ensuing years, Ricky has continued to innovate, eliminating the line between rap and alt-rock in his music.
Ricky is primed for a big year in 2026, highlighted by 10,000 Grams. Ricky Hil will join SosMula on the “KILLA SEASON TOUR” in February, featuring music from Sos’s KAMP KRYSTL LAKE and the upcoming10,000 Grams.
