Roddy Ricch Shows Love To Kobe Bryant In Imaginative New 'The Box' Performance

Fresh off of winning his first-ever trophy at the 62nd Grammy Awards, Roddy Ricch performed a concert indoors of a cube with a new, illusionary display of "The Box" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.  With three giant screens, he invited the world outdoors into his space for a wild, nonsensical ride.


There's an episode of Spongebob Squarepants that's about the imaginative powers of boxes. In case you find the correct one, you could close your eyes and sail on Robot Pirate Island or maybe drive in a race — as long as a garbage truck isn't actually hauling away and you also are not, case in point, driving. Ricch realizes the power held in boxes and in I M A G I N A T I O N (as SpongeBob so eloquently put it with his hands, building a rainbow for the very unimpressed Squidward). For his efficiency of "The Box," he placed himself within three walls, literally breaking the fourth so that the audience in the studio, and at residence, would feel as if they were in there with him.


Inside of the box was where the fun began. Ricch, who paid homage to Kobe Bryant by wearing a No. 8 Lakers jersey, rapped his massive hit while disorientating images flashed on the walls of the cube. First, there were burning buildings, followed by some cute city architecture. Then there was a bank vault that, any time opened, held his initials. There's little to no meaning beyond these cool-looking clips, so place yourself indoors in the box and come up with your own. That is what boxes are for, soon after all.


Ricch ended his epic show with an awesome request, pulling the audience, and each person at residence, out of their creative trip. "Make some noise building in the event you rock with Jimmy Fallon," he yelled. It was a fitting conclusion to the show. And, just like that, each person came back to reality.
