In doing so, he utilizes his passion to push aspiring artists to pursue their dreams in the industry, despite the scene’s sometimes apparent intolerance. 

For his most recent release, 2AM Ricky taps Lain Tucker for his trendy track titled, “Hues”. Once again, Ricky resonates with fans through his lyricism while experimenting with various sounds. Continuously conveying a wide range of emotions through his music, “Hues” is another illustration of this as it highlights his skills.

Expanding from his varied hip-hop musical catalog, Ricky flexes on a low-tempoed yet trippy, Lo-fi vibe while sprinkling those R&B elements we love from him! 

Additionally, the catchy chorus transitions effortlessly into the incredibly insightful verses, making “Hues” a smooth listen. Enabling you to put the record on repeat. Although the song starts off with a somber sound, it shifts in the second half. Delivering a dope tempo and feeling in which is felt throughout your body. Adding a final element of enchantment, the track wraps with a saxophone solo. 

The amazingly crafted track comes off as a relaxing and mellow record while favoring the fans’ synapses with captivating sounds from beginning to end. “Hues” explores many concepts within its verses, including themes of love and heartbreak. The track is a balance as it kicks off bragging about the beauty of love before bringing in the realities of its dark side — the good and bad. Smoothly entering the second half of the single, Ricky incorporates the haunting tones for the remainder of the record. Perfectly providing a distinct emotional shift. A reflection of its musicality, the poetically pushed single provides the hues of these themes and everything in between.  

With the mic wrapped around the industry’s neck, Ricky remains at the top of the charts, specifically the LGBT Urban Charts.
