Hip-hop artist Rio Narley is building his legacy through entrepreneurship and sharing his passion for music throughout the community. In his latest single, “Ain’t Easy,” Narley spreads positivity through lyrics, poetic fusion, and psychedelic vibes laced with heavy 808s and high-pitched vocals. His version of hip hop breaks the mold of hardcore rap by introducing high-pitched vocals, positive energy, and an unbreakable spirit.
“I made this song because it covers all aspects of life from beginning to middle to now,” says Rio Narley of his recent single. “It’s very upbeat—a club-banger song—yet portrays a positive message.” Narley is looking to bring new flavor to an industry filled with violence. “The industry needs more peace-driven, conscious artists. I’m doing what I can to get there.”
Rio Narley has come a long way from his troubled roots. With the support of his mother, he was able to leave behind the gang violence of his youth and gain a “new lease on life.” He often wonders where he would be if he had stayed where he was. It’s this humility and introspection that enables Rio Narley to transform wisdom into song—all while giving back to the community he loves.
“An aspect of coming from poverty is wanting to put my city up in a positive way,” shares Narley. “I want to achieve my goals while giving back to the community at the same time. It’s important to help the whole community. I’m trying to portray this in song.”
Having shared the stage with independent artists from Six Hampton to Pretti Emage, Rio Narley is no stranger to the limelight. He was the winner of the an underground music award and loves performing for his fans and keeping them connected through social media.
In fact, Narley can’t wait to share new music with his fans. He has a fresh album coming their way. “My album is going to be very melodic—it’s my niche as an artist. I’m a melodic beat type of person, harmonizing in music and rapping at the same time. It’s all about getting my message out there in my own way.”
