Rio Waken
freestyle inside "It's You" (Sierra Marin's set)
A freestyle that went back to the Garden of Eden and came home to the moment: being who you are, and loving being human.

What Rio carried
Rio stepped in for a co-writer who could not be there and spat a freestyle inside "It's You". He took the long way home, back to the Garden of Eden "before we separated into angels and demons", gathering the fragmented pieces of ourselves so we can return to completion, and landing right here in the moment: "just being who I am and loving being a human." His heart extended to every single person in the room, he closed his verse and named himself: Rio Waken.

“Just being who I am and loving being a human”
“I am the love that never been suspended”
