1) Horst Christian Simco[3] (born January 29, 1982), better known by his stage name Riff Raff (often stylized as RiFF RAFF),[4] is an American rapper.[5] He was originally managed by Swishahouse co-founder OG Ron C.[6] After being associated with rapper and producer Soulja Boy's imprint S.O.D. Money Gang Inc., Riff Raff was signed to DJ and producer Diplo's record label Mad Decent from 2013 to 2015.[7]
2) Riff Raff was a UK progressive rock band formed by keyboardist Tommy Eyre in 1972.The band was a continuation on the back of drummers (and Harrow School of Art friends) Rod Coombes (Juicy Lucy Strawbs and Stealers Wheel) and Joe Czarnecki's (Plainsmen) aka Joe Peter's project originally called 'Crikey' started in 1969 and completed in 1970 when Rod had to accept growing tour commitments with Juicy Lucy.These sessions comprise half of the Riff Raff album 'Outside Looking In' in which Rod wrote half the songs.Rod says that "the concept of the band was based around two drummers and afro-jazz (Rod and Joe were great fans of Ginger Baker and Miles Davis) and fusion(this album was one of the first true fusion albums to be recorded).I had worked with Roger with singer Paul Williams (Juicy Lucy)and Tommy previously and clearly we all enjoyed doing what we do best-playing freely".
Riff Raff later went on to release two albums to lukewarm response; however, their use of jazz and hard-edged rock garnered them a large underground following. Riff Raff also released the single "Copper Kettle". Although not typical of Riff Raff's repertoire, the band were unlucky not to get some chart coverage from the single.

ROOKiE OF THE YEAR 2013
Riff Raff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cause confusion
Martha Stewart candy fuchsia on
The sewage Buick
When I freestyle, it's a community service
I should have played ball
For the Houston Cougars
You don't know my name? My
They figured I was kin to Mike Tyson
The way I stay with fire hooks
Tan belts, my upper torso rockin' lamb silk
10 tan twins massage my
Health Virginia common wealth
When they say they don't know
Me? It's hamstring burglary
Drop me 20k a show, it's common courtesy
Brazilian queens take me on vacation
Palm Springs draw strings curtains back
Reveal diamond rings
Ring roster road tester drop
Testerosa CLK Kompressor, venomous session
Phoenix Suns confessions
I shoot shots like Van Exel
I'm Dan Majerle on the strawberry Harley
I'm in the black & white 5th
Wheel leaned back like a domino
I play with my knowledge although
I can't be tarnished
5 levels of frequency, callers on dialtones
Cantaloupe on siren, sounds like a wind chime
At sunset I play in full swing
At batting practice
I'm Wade Boggs with the purple pogs
My backpack is Jansport in high
School I played 7 sports
When tennis balls hit the fence I
Serve 8 balls like Andre Agassi
In the pearl Mit'subishi diamante circle
Makes a square fool
But circle circle makes a square
Circle circle makes a square fool
Circle circle makes a square
