    Ep. 82 - Freestyle Fridays w/ Rio D (Rapper)

    Hosted by actor Lucas John Ng and comedian Josh Yang. Full ep on YouTube: https://youtu.be/IJFI3JcfFbo Our first guest of Series 4 is a Lebanese - Canadian rapper from Toronto called Rio D. Our co-host, Josh Yang, met Rio D at digital nomad events while living in Buenos Aires in November, 2023, and quickly connected on a shared interest in creative pursuits and the entertainment industry. Rio D was in Buenos Aires recording with local producers on new music which led to singles like "No Queens on King", and shot a music video for "Will" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqXfdld3WrQ). In our episode, we asked Rio D his "making it" start and journey, and the urgency that comes with pursuing a rapping career later than many young rappers. His approach is to constantly drive and grind to create content and produce music with 8 unreleased singles ready to go and a consistent social media presence through his Freestyle Friday posts!
