Riff Raff has pulled a Kid Rock … jumping ship in the rap game to pursue COUNTRY music — and he’s even changing his name to something a lot more down home.
Raff just recorded a song called “Take U Away” — which he’ll release shortly — and he tells TMZ, it’s recorded under the name Jody Highroller.
He’ll continue to use Riff Raff as his rap name.
Raff’s new song is a little pitchy, but it’s catchy as hell … and it was produced by Dame Grease, one of DMX’s go-to producers. We’re told Raff’s country ambitions are also backed by Diplo … one of the top producers on the planet.
Riff Raff — who hails from Houston, TX — insists it’s not a joke, telling TMZ, “I love country music … I’m good at it and it’s a good fit.”
