Robb Relo is an independent music artist and actor, who hails from the mid west city of Cleveland, Ohio, where he grew up grinding and coming to life on the streets impoverished with all the negativities attributed to one of the poorest cities in the country. And while he was raised in the city that hails such artist as Bone Thugs and Harmony and Avant to name a few, he was born in Europe on New Years Eve in the year of 1987 where he lived for a couple years until his family relocated to the states.
He grew up with a love for music and beat boxing at a time when rap and hip hop had already made a name for itself. Picking the mic up for the first time at 11 years old, he was drawn to the art of rhyming and developed a natural talent to use words and make music that not only sounded good, but spoke of his life in a way that quickly fueled his passion to become an artist.
Always ambitious and hungry to make his gift work for him, he's been grinding in this music scene for more than 10 years making hip hop and rap for his peers and has quickly become one of the strongest hitters to hail from the 'Land' in many years His love for the art and for his craft have allowed him to make a living doing what he loves for some years now as an independent artist during a time when most young rappers are satisfied sounding like every other mainstream contender on the charts.
Robb Relo, his professional moniker, has coined his own sound and has created a buzz in and around most major cities across the nation, and he is not done yet. A lyrical genius, he brings sentences and words to life as he freestyles and delivers on track after track, his own style and swagger that cannot be compared to any other. He found critical acclaim with one of his earlier mixtapes ?Fresh Up Off The Burner? in the year 2006 which produced several underground hits and received much air play in France. Hosted by D.J. Weedim, a well respected promoter and D.J. in France,this mixtape has become a classic on the rap circuit. Immediately followed by ?Get Off My D**k?, which was also a major success and hosted by D.J.Pretty Boy Floyd, his current project ?No Brakes?, is receiving excellent reviews in the industry, Robb Relo is most definitely producing quality music destined to last in this ever changing business.
Nominated for an Ohio Hip-Hop Award for Best New Artist in 2006, along with his in house producer Y.K, his music is regarded as some of the best to come out of Cleveland in years. Robb Relo is as true to his artisty, as he is lyrically talented, making music relevant to the struggle of the inner city, as well as articulating the very heart of what it takes to stay true and credible in this business. Tracks like ?Live Good? and ?Slow Walk It' tell a story of a dream that is sure to resonate with anybody who has ever desired to get out the ghetto and enjoy a piece of this American Dream.
Raw and natural talent like Relo's is scarce in a business where most would be content to simply 'get on' and cash a check. A natural M.C.- Relo is 'HIP HOP' at it's finest. He's currently in the studio working on another installment, as well as well other professional ventures. He's also planning a promotional tour in the near future.
