Don Rio has been hustling in his music career all along the east coast. A New York native, Don Rio began pursuing music professionally around four years ago. After starting out as a hype man for a fellow artist, he realized his passion for hip-hop was something he could later harvest. Rio has opened for major artists such as Fabolous, Jadakiss, and Juelz Santana, along with competing in numerous contests and showcases all over the country. Though he enjoys collaboration through his group 150 Gang, he also stays committed to focusing on his career as a solo artist.
Don Rio is freshly coming off the release of his latest project he dropped in the beginning of November, “The Blue Hunnitz LP”. The album features nine original songs, which showcases the artist’s true versatility and authenticity. “The project took over a year for me to record,” said Don Rio. “I’ve been working and recording steadily. This is a very versatile project – I didn’t try to make it one type of style. It’s all about good vibes mixed with a good tempo.” As “The Blue Hunnitz LP” delivers a variety of sounds, it is no surprise the album has warranted an overwhelming positive response. The artist believes it to be one of his best, as it is “a fresh and solid project”.
Up next for the hip-hip artist is sure to be another hit album. At the beginning of the new year, Don Rio plans to release a full-length album consisting of 15-18 tracks. The album will be called “Don Dada”, and will also include some amazing features that fans won’t want to miss out on.
