Jody Christian (born Horst Christian Simco) (born January 29, 1982), best known by his stage name Riff Raff, often stylized as RiFF RaFF is an American rapper and performance artist from Houston, Texas. He is signed to the Mad Decent record label and is set to release his first Mad Decent album in 2013. He is best known for his associations with Soulja Boy, and being a member of the group Three Loco with Andy Milonakis and Simon Rex. A fictionalized version believed to be based on him is slated to be portrayed by James Franco in a film starring Selena Gomez and directed by Harmony Korine.
Prior to becoming a rapper, RiFF RaFF was purportedly an engineer at NASA.
Riff Raff started his social media involvement as a rapper on Myspace, using the name "Kokayne Dawkinz." Riff Raff's first public appearance was not as a rapper, but as a contestant on the 2009 MTV reality show From G's to Gents (season 2). Though he was eliminated from series on the second episode, he used this exposure to publicize his career as a rapper.
After two years of heavily engaging social media, he was said to be signed to the Soulja Boy's Stacks on Deck Entertainment label in 2011, and added "SODMG" to his name for a period. This was later said to be false in an interview by Soulja Boy.
He signed an 8-album deal with producer Diplo reportedly worth $2.7 million dollars.
Riff Raff has collaborated with Lil B, V-Nasty, Lil Debbie, Action Bronson, Chief Keef, The Rej3ctz, Waka Flocka Flame, Lil Chuckee, and Kitty Pryde. He is a member of the group Three Loco with Andy Milonakis and Dirt Nasty, known for the single Neato.
Riff Raff's persona as a rapper can be described as nostalgic pastiche for late '90s and early 2000s Houston Hip-Hop, with heavy reference to DJ Screw, DJ Michael Watts, and the Swishahouse record label. Riff Raff is noted for his technical skill as a freestyler, as mentioned by a number of news outlets, and exhibited in several World Star Hip Hop exclusive videos. He is known as Jody High Roller.

that statement has been floating around the net... its probably trolling, but it would be funny as hell if it was true. It would show the genius behind the character development.
