Oakland-born, Atlanta-based singer/rapper Robert Davis first recorded as
Rolls Royce Rizzy, pinged the radar of a certain luxury automobile manufacturer, and subsequently altered his name to Royce Rizzy. Davis settled on
24hrs following a brief affiliation with
Jermaine Dupri's So So Def label. A more R&B-oriented outlet for Davis -- with pitch-altered, bottom-heavy slow jams the M.O., placing him somewhere between
the-Dream and frequent collaborator
Ty Dolla $ign --
24hrs debuted in 2016 with multiple bundles of SoundCloud uploads and
Open, an EP released commercially through Private Club. The eight-track follow-up
Night Shift followed in 2017, at which point Davis had also racked up outside collaborations with the likes of
MadeinTYO (his brother),
Ty,
G-Eazy, and
Blackbear. A full-length, Houses on the Hill, arrived in 2018 and included the single "Fifty Ball," featuring
Moneybagg Yo and
Smokepurpp. ~ Andy Kellman
