“RIP Roach” (also referred to as “R.I.P ROACH “EAST SIDE SOULJA”) was released on May 12, 2016 by Ski Mask the Slump God, featuring his long-time companion, XXXTENTACION. The track was rereleased within X’s debut commercial mixtape, Revenge, under his name, featuring Ski. The track fits in a series of very popular tracks with heavy 808s and a set of hats, including Ski’s “Take A Step Back” and X’s “Yung Bratz”.

There is a long story behind the track’s title. “Roach” was a nickname of one of X’s very close friends who was murdered in 2016.
