It wasn’t until Ricky Lake found himself in the artsy enclaves of Oakland, CA that he became the dark but delicate cloud rap craftsman we see today. Teenage influences of NERD, Blink 182 and Crystal Castles plus his favorite elements of pop and the Soundcloud era come together for a sound that’s big and glowing and undeniably his own. Thoughtful reflections on past loves and future mistakes, Ricky Lake lives and breathes the emotions that bring each track to life. Adding a full drum set and shredding electric guitar to his new live show - you’re bound to feel what he feels too.
