Rio Da Yung OG is back outside, musically (free Rio). While the Flint rapper might still be in prison, he's been busy in the studio. After being sentenced to five years for intent to distribute a controlled substance and an illegal firearm, Rio's still putting out music. Not only that, Rio Da Yung has released another EP, The F Tape. The wild Detroit lyricist put out a six-track EP and wasted no time talking his talk.
Furthermore, it's been two years since we've heard from Da Yung OG (for obvious reasons). In 2021, Rio Da Yung OG dropped Fiend Lives Matter while still amid his conviction. During that time it was the only solo effort he dropped aside from his slew of features with other Detroit rappers and even traded bars with Lil Yachty on "Royal Rumble." The seven-track EP was filled with wild production and even wilder lyrics from Rio Da Yung OG. Additionally, his hilarious references to the not-so-hilarious street life realities make Da Yung OG's music that much more enjoyable. As listeners, we're suckers for someone who can turn their pain into something lighthearted.
Rio Da Yung OG Drops New EP
With The F Tape, Rio Da Yung OG sticks to the formula of talking crazy on wax. So much so that his lead single was titled "Talkin' Crazy." In the two years that we haven't heard from Rio, it's refreshing to hear from him again. Since dropping Fiend Lives Matter, Rio Da Yung OG only had a couple of singles out before releasing his new EP. The six-track EP gives you everything you would expect from a Rio Tape. Flexing money, dope selling, and flat-out debauchery are all over this EP.
Some of his most outrageous bars can be found in the last track "In The Bay." It definitely takes more than a few listens to catch some of these bars. Rio has been incarcerated for two years now. In three more years, he'll be out and hopefully, we'll get more music from the Flint rhymer. What do you think of the Yung OG? Have you listened to The F Tape yet?

Quotable Lyrics:
Hit your block with a K with the scope, call it sightseeing
I don't think I'm from this planet, I'm an astronaut
I'll throw my whole career away, bro, pass the Glock
