He is continuing to grow in all aspects of music, with a story to tell through his spoken words on instruments. Rizzo believes, "Music is something you feel and capture yourself into, rather than just something you hear in one ear and out the other."
As time passed by, Yung Rizzo found himself entering
the hip-hop game. Listening to a variety of
music which influenced his rhymes. In middle school he
started doing talent shows at a young age, and feeling
a strong motivation. Until high school came he and a
group of others began to battle rap against other
emcees and lyricists within the area. In high school Rizzo played sports, which he also had a strong passion for. Realizing his passion for music was as strong as basketball, he continued to pursue his career as a hip hop artist / emcee. It then began. Rizzo is holdin' on to this new era and holdin' his own, with his versatile and switchin' up his style when it comes to spittin'. " I do this."
After leaving from indie label to another, Rizzo settled down and started his company Fly High Music Group. "Music is a must in my mind, and I got to do it for myself before I can do it for others." Staying true to his roots where he was born at, Rizzo gives his own flavor on each track lettin' em know hip hop lives in the Bay Area.
