1. Satire for the Guys

Roy Ricardo is one of the rap singers who is skilled at creating lyrics with mischievous and controversial themes, including his latest single titled ASI (Breast Milk). Roy Ricardo said that this song was intentionally made to satirize men who like to zoom in on women's photos on social media.

"As usual, I created the song to be interpreted in two ways, ambiguously if possible. That's why I created ASI, to satirize guys who like to zoom in on girls' photos on Instagram, explore Instagram," said Roy Ricardo.

"Actually, it's like that, but I packaged it with the theme of milk. It can also have a positive message, encouraging us to drink milk for our health," he continued.

Every time he creates a song, Rio Ricardo always looks for lyrics and themes that are different from other singers. According to him, with this approach, listeners will pay attention to the songs he creates.

"When I create a song, it has to be something better, a little different, rather than just slightly better. In other words, there are already many good people and many good songs. But I want to create something different so that people take notice first, understand it first, and then listen to the song. If they like it, great, if not, they don't have to listen to it," concluded Roy Ricardo.

After the success of the song ASI, Roy Ricardo himself has prepared his latest single titled Kami Benci Lawan Arah (We Hate Opposite Direction). The plan is to release the single in the near future.
