Heavily influenced by introspective greats such as 2Pac, Rakim, Nas, Wu Tang, Eminem, The Fugees, Big Pun, Big L, Brother Ali, AZ, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Dialated People, and so on, Rizzo as an emcee strives to reincarnate the organic 90's flavor while reaching todays hip hop enthusiasts in the current climate; all while maintaining integrity. Rizzo is a Jersey bred emcee with an old school laid back rhyme cadence that forces you to listen. "It’s time we as emcees hold ourselves to a higher standard and say things worth hearing." In 2013, Rizzo plans to release his trophy sophomore project and leave a long lasting positive contribution.
