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.

You Never Know
Riff Raff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you
Least I think I do
Least I think I do
Well how'd I go and get myself
Into this one this time
Oh no, oh no, I'm falling down
You should never fight
With a lover for your life
You deserve the sun
Just as much as anyone
And someday you'll make up
For all the time you've lost
Someday you'll make up
For all the time you've lost
I know you
I know you
Least I think I do
Least I think I do
In Riff Raff's song "You Never Know," the lyrics suggest that the singer believes they know someone well, but they're not entirely sure. The repetition of "I know you, least I think I do" hints at uncertainty, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that they understand this person, despite some doubts. The singer then questions how they got themselves into a particular situation, possibly related to this person, where they feel they are falling down or failing in some way. The metaphor of "seashells in my eyes" may suggest that the singer is seeing things through a distorted or unrealistic lens, possibly caused by their undetermined relationship with this person.
Later in the song, the lyrics provide some advice, suggesting that you should never fight with a lover for your life, and that everyone deserves happiness and success, including the singer's ambiguous love interest. The song ends with a glimmer of hope, as the singer suggests that someday, the person they care about will make up for lost time.
Overall, "You Never Know" seems to explore themes of uncertainty, doubt, and the risks involved in relationships. Riff Raff's clever use of language and imagery serves to create an intriguing and thought-provoking narrative that leaves the listener wondering about the story behind the song.

There's some music that is just absolutely sacred to me. I never share with anyone so as not to taint how I feel about the song. This is one of those tracks. Instant flashback to when first hearing. Riff Raff is just an undeniable rap monster.
