Stream/ download ‘Hollywood’ by Road Runna Rio: https://album.link/us/i/1666866180
Road Runna Rio has been building up his name as a rapper since 2014. Despite his brief experience with homelessness, the rising artist has had one thing on his mind; to become one of the biggest rappers in the game.
Road Runna Rio, whose birth name is Mariano Scardine, grew up in Calumet City, IL in the South Chicago metropolitan area. He grew up between the Chicago area and other parts of IL and even spent time in Los Angeles and Atlanta. To him, his influences come mostly from the latter since he’s spent most of his adulthood in the two cities. As a rapper, he’s trying to create his own lane in music and defines his sound as a blend of “Intelligent Trap” with a lazy flow that is full of impactful punchlines. He leans on content centered about the hustler lifestyle which has garnered him an impressive 1 million streams on Spotify and close to 800,000 on Apple Music. Fans are drawn to how he paints the picture of the go-getter, allowing him to catch the attention on major platforms like No Jumper and Worldstar.
He’s collaborated with some heavy hitters in music including OJ Da Juiceman, Zaytoven, chasethemoney, Chopsquad DJ, the entire Stinc Team and memes of the Shoreline Mafia since he’s started working on his craft and has been making major connections in Atlanta. While LA is where he got his footing as an artist, it is the Southern home of rap that has him linking with industry elite. For Road Runna Rio, there’s nothing stopping him from pursuing music, not even being homeless for 5 years before 2020. He’s set on releasing great music and working his moves to establish a greater name for himself.

Stream/download ‘Trapped In My Hive’ by Bumble Bee: https://album.link/us/i/1669758421
With no pun intended, newcomer Bumble Bee is creating quite a buzz for herself as a rap artist. The rapper has already piqued the interest of major platforms like Generation Now, Dirty Glove Bastards Off the Porch, Hood Affairs, The Progress Report, Doggie Diamonds TV, A&R Bigga Rankin, and more and is easily becoming a more notable act out of Philadelphia. She boasts over 22K followers on Instagram and has even worked alongside rap icons, but now more than ever, she feels it’s time to make a name for herself in the industry.
Bumble Bee, whose birth name is Zojuanna Bennett, grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where she started rapping at just 9 years old. By 15, she was catching her stride as a rapper, but it wouldn’t be until 2022 that she’d begin to take the craft seriously. Since pursuing music, Bumble Bee has gained a lot of attention online with her versatile sound which she features on tracks like “We Outside”, “IDGAF”, and “Ride Still” and has even collaborated with fellow Philadelphia rap artist KUR and Omelly who’s been connected to Meek Mill’s label. Philadelphia is known as the city of love, but what sets the city a part, is the individuality among its artists. Bumble Bee remains lyrically free and offers a perfect balance of feminine and masculine energy and regardless of gender, she can hold her own on the track. Fans can expect to hear this authenticity on her 4-track project Trapped in my Hive releasing the first week of February.
Bumble Bee also gives back to her community by regularly speaking to the youth and volunteering at charity events.
Bumble Bee’s rap career may just be getting started, but she’s already achieved more than other established artists in such a short amount of time. Bumble Bee has been able to work with super producer Swagino, Breezy, and Philly’s top DJ, DJ Cosmic Kev and even toured and hit prominent stages such as the MET. What’s next for the femcee is to remain consistent in delivering great music for her audience.

Stream/ download ‘My Gift to You’ by RENEGADE EL REY: https://album.link/us/i/1634467683
In true RENEGADE EL REY fashion, the artist is releasing his newest project ‘My Gift to You’ on his birthday on July 16th. As the title suggests, this is a gift to not only his fans and listeners, but to himself, and acts as an invitation into his world through his multifaceted music. His request is simple; for each listener to just receive the art.
He wants most for his fans to take in the hard-hitting bars he’s delivering as this EP is just an extension of the consistency RENEGADE EL REY is known to provide. At the same time, ‘My Gift to You’ opens a new chapter for the MC, one that is full of possibilities and something he’d never imagine as the 3-year-old on the cover. RENEGADE EL REY remains the main featured voice as he was very selective in who he collaborated with. Instead of grabbing a handful of artists to join him by dropping off verses, the artist instead insisted on connecting only with vocalists who fit the bill on what he wanted the listener to hear. Dijon Stylez, who is a writer and producer, adds vocals to the hook for the track “Balance It All” while RENEGADE EL REY’s close friend Kourtney Jackson shares vocals on “Earn My Keep”.
Following the release of ‘My Gift to You’, RENEGADE EL REY aims to share new visuals and highlight potential singles like his favorite tracks “F U Mean” or “Ain’t Done” and continue to bring engaging live performances for his supporters.
