My latest musical discovery is Rello, a hard-working rapper grinding to get his music heard beyond North Carolina. When I first met him he was part of a duo The Green Gang but he is has since became a solo artist. For his background with the Green Gang you can check out an interview I did with him last year. Since becoming solo he has been hard in the studio and I’m here to give everyone an update on his progress.
Story to Tell (Remix) over Biggie Small’s beat is a catchy verse with Rello spitting laid back rhymes about his story being from Jacksonville, NC. It was the verse that put me on to him. “I’m going green so I don’t stop when I see the red.” This line refers to his movement Green Gang/Thumbs Up.
Good Friday was orginally Kanye West featuring Common, Big Sean, and Kid Cudi. That is until Rello hopped on this track. I love how on this verse he switched it up to a more fast paced and his verse still flows. And once again he delivers a memorable closing line to leave listeners wanting more.
My last favorite track he hopped on is Nicki Minaj’s Moment for Life. He focuses more on problems and hardships of being an up and coming rapper from North Carolina. With verses like these I’m definitely anticipating an entire mixtape. - NikkiPanache

I’m definitely feeling the kid Rello’s new video “3 Strikes” which is one of many hot singles off his latest mixtape Military Kids. This radio-ready club banger is contagious. Everything from Rello’s cool rhyming demeanor to the song’s infectious hook will draw you in and keep you in its grasp. This classic in the making will keep dance floors packed and club heads completely satisfied.
The visuals solidify one thing right off the bat; Rello knows how to party! Great music mixed with a little libation, dorm room chicks and Beer Pong makes for a great time. Director Headgraphix does a great job pairing the track’s subject matter with the on-screen action, matching Rello’s laid back flow with complimenting edits.
I really enjoyed tuning in to this video. It takes me back to my days in the dorm hallways, passing around a variety of party favors prior to hitting the club. It’s a feel-good video hat has loads of mainstream potential. Press play and enjoy! - AmpedSounds

”Don’t listen to anybody and don’t be scared to be you even if your different than whats ”in”
- Rello.. when I make the beat I’m Darious Tone, But you can call me Rello.
Upcoming underground artist Rello.. when I make the beat I’m Darious Tone, But you can call me Rello. just answered some questions. Checkout the interview below and share if you like it.
Thanks for your time. How did you decide to become an artist?
Rello.. when I make the beat I’m Darious Tone, But you can call me Rello.: I started out battling man I was a beast as a kid I started on a website called tightbeatz and gained a rep through winning tournaments ripping rappers heads off. Through that I started falling in love with making actual songs and networking and collabing with the artist on that site. Once I graduated high school, I had already fucked up all my chances to play baseball so I went to a community college where I slacked off skipped all my classes and failed because all I wanted to do was rap, now im here.
What about concerts? Do you play live?
Yea I have headlined 2 legit shows and opened up a lot the past 3 years, hopefully I can earn a tour soon.
Best punchline you ever wrote?
Life short like Vern Troyer, Legacies they live on forever, So if you don’t see the bigger picture now I forgive you nigga you aint know no better/
- Rello.. when I make the beat I’m Darious Tone, But you can call me Rello.
What are you currently working on? Did you release something in the past?
I’m currently in Canada working on my dream project thats executive produced by my engineer The LJ who has been mastering my music for 10 years. This is our first time making a full project in person I have been sending him files since I was 11. Military kids was my previous effort but it was done from home, this one is my first real studio effort.
Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yea I would if given the right situation it would have to make sense. The pros is that you get to learn what it takes to survive in the industry trough experience the cons would be people telling me how to do me, that’s a no no.
Shoutouts and credits to the fam?
I wanna send a huge shout out to God, my family for supporting my decision to pursue music, my managers and publicist. Shout out to the whole state of North Carolina and a HUGE shout out to everyone in the 910 area from Jacksonville to Fayetteville and most importantly every fan that tunes in and spreads my music.
So how can we contact you?
