Emerging out of the Long Beach rap scene, Rillo Wright, age 23, is making a name for himself with his own flavor of West Coast Hip Hop. Rillo emphasizes the hottest aspects of modern hip hop while embracing the classic sound of Long Beach legends. His love for hip hop is only matched by his love for diversity in all facets of life.

Born of mixed ethnicity in Compton, Rillo relocated to Long Beach at a young age where he spent the majority of his adolescence. Although he attended Long Beach Polytechnic High School, his passion lied in music rather than in football. Wright has been rapping his whole life and it becomes apparent with his natural, effortless flow. He emerged onto the scene in 2011, when he decided he wanted to seriously pursue music and establish himself as an artist. With dozens of singles dropping online in the past few years and a project currently in the works, Rillo has gone from a lunchroom rapper to a well respected and highly talented recording artist.

Rillo has been gaining momentum and exposure as of late, performing an opening set for Hopsin in , and catching a feature in Long Beach Post’s “10 Underground Long Beach Rappers you need to know now” list.
