Ramriddlz Drops “Xbox,” the Lead Single From His Next Album

Mississauga artist Ramriddlz—he of “Sweeterman” fame—is back with a new track, “Xbox.”

It’s the lead single from his long-awaited next album, SD2, the sequel to his 2017 breakthrough LP Sweeter Dreams. Featuring sun-baked keys and uptempo, ’80s-indebted drum machines, “Xbox” is an electro-pop jam about… well, we’ll let Ramriddlz explain it: 

“This song is about me remembering my ex’s box and how she had the best box but now I’m onto the next box!” he tells us.

The track boasts a stacked list of producers, including Jaegen, Waves, Matt Kahane, and Quin Kiu.

The last couple weeks, Ramriddlz has been building up hype for the release with a series of ridiculous TikToks about pining for one’s ex.

Ramriddlz was recently announced as one of the performers at Rolling Loud Toronto, which takes place Sept. 9 to 11 at Ontario Place.

The artist first made waves in 2015 with his debut single “Sweeterman,” which Drake liked so much he recorded his own version of it.

SD2 will be Ramriddlz’s first project since his 2020 EP Ain’t Shit Sweeter. Speaking with Complex Canada that year, he said his goal with the next album was to make less depraved music that his parents could listen to.
