Outkast and Goodie Mob became a mainstay on the hip-hop charts over two decades ago. Since then, Atlanta has never looked back since. The city introduced us to a slew of great artists such as T.I., Killer Mike, Lil Scrappy and many others. Atlanta even has its own edition of Love & Hip-Hop as well. Now in 2018, 21-year-old newcomer Real Recognize Rio is trying to make his own splash.
The Zone 6 native has been releasing music over the last couple years in the form of freestyles, singles, and collaborations, such as his ‘Free Smoke Freestyle’ released last summer. Now, he is finally here with a full-length project of his own. The 16 track mixtape titled, Reconstructed.

The DJ Official hosted project was released on April 2nd. It features appearances from other notable acts like Big Bank Black and Pee Wee Longway. Rio raps about the struggle of hustling while trying to escape that trap at the same time. Rio delivers his rhymes over the hard-hitting trap beats effortlessly. Add catchy melodies and subject matter and you have the recipe for success.
Standout tracks on the 16 track project are: ‘Aww Man’ featuring Big Bank Black, ‘Came Round’ and ‘Crazy’ After listening, Reconstructed, it’s clear how polished and ready Real Recognize Rio is to make waves in this game. The possibilities are limitless.
