2AM Ricky - TDLR (Single)

2AM Ricky Drops Dance-Fueled Summer Anthem 'TDLR'.

Genre-bender and cultural powerhouse 2AM Ricky is back with ‘TDLR’—a bass-heavy, house-bounce hybrid built for sweaty dance floors and block-party takeovers. Inspired by the joy and chaos of Freaknik-era Atlanta, the single pulses with Southern heat and unapologetic freedom.

Hot on the heels of his chart-climbing collab ‘Move (feat. GODZENA)’, Ricky delivers a track designed for movement and memories. Produced by ClayCo Beats, ‘TDLR’ is all hypnotic percussion and chopped-up synth nostalgia, anchored by a hook that’s practically a dance tutorial.

“It’s a party I wasn’t supposed to be at—but found a way into,” Ricky says, nodding to memories of his mom’s stories about 90s ATL wildness. That energy lives in every beat.

This drop caps a groundbreaking year: Ricky became the first Black trans man to chart on iTunes, earned GRAMMY® buzz, and landed syncs on Netflix, Zeus Network, and Tyler Perry productions. His EP ‘Listen If You’re Lonely’ opened raw conversations around grief, identity, and chosen family.

On June 8, he hits the main stage at World Pride alongside Khalid and Doechii—another bold step in a career defined by visibility and disruption. With his debut album ‘Don’t Forget to Call’ dropping in July, 2AM Ricky isn’t just making music. He’s making history.
