We’ll be offering up new instrumentals from rising producers weekly — free of charge — for you to rock over (and so you’ll stop rapping over “Kobe”). If you like what you hear, please reach out to the beatsmiths to inquire about how you can work with them in the future. Got it? Utilization is key.
New to some as a solo artist and producer, Rio, born Mario Parks, has quietly been making big moves in the Chicago scene for years. He was once part of the duo BXC who were signed to Ludacris’ DTP imprint, and has produced for a handful of notable artists across the country. But Rio’s decided to leave the mic alone and pursue producing full time, with his weapon of choice being Fruity Loops. He’s also a video director, so if you search his name on the site he’ll pop up under a handful of your favorite clips.
Since beginning his company, Rio Productions, he’s worked with the likes of Chief Keef, Shawnna, Lil Reese, Lil Scrappy, B5, Trey Songz, Machine Gun Kelly and Edai. He ‘s also recently produced for both GLC and King Louie. Mario is one of the newest members of LEM Management family, so if you’re looking to track down Rio, be sure to reach out to Lyrical.
But for now, check out the freebie instrumental he’s blessed us with.
