Rio Da Yung OG started making music with RMC Mike as a teenager, recording songs on a karaoke machine for him and his friends to listen to. Rio didn’t take rap seriously until his idol Team Eastside Peezy encouraged him to and proved that rap made money, he said in an interview with No Jumper.

Honestly, when I met Peezy, that was my— he showed me a twenty thousand dollar check, probably the first day I met him. He like, “I just made fifty thousand dollars honestly, today.” That made me right there, like, “This shit serious,” you know what I’m saying? ‘Cause from my perspective rap was like, I used to feel like it was just a show, like I used to think, like, “They ain’t really that rich, they not really making that much money.” When Peezy showed me that shit it showed me like, this— then when he told me how much he liked my music, I’m like, “I damn near gotta do it,” ’cause Peezy was somebody that we Like, Team Eastside was serious to us when we was growing up.

Rio’s music career took off in late 2019 after his hit single “Legendary” was released, amassing millions of streams, solidifying his spot in the Michigan rap scene.

In 2021, Rio Da Yung OG was sentenced to five years in prison after he plead guilty to possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. On Wednesday (Dec. 11, 2025), the Michigan rapper was released.

The “2 Faced” MC reconnected with his team and Empire label execs and immediately hopped on a private jet … we’re told he flew from Arkansas to Memphis and then ATL — where he recorded his newest track.

Per a press release on Friday (Dec. 13) – “Upon his release, Rio was picked up in a private jet, visited Wafi Jewelry, spent time with his kids, and then recorded his first post-release track, ‘RIO FREE.’” Watch the video below.
