8/17/23

WHAT IT IS: Emerging from Mobile, Ala., up-and-coming rapper Rylo Rodriguez—born Ryan Adams—is known for his ingenuity in recontextualizing classic pop and R&B song into stories of his life. Last month the rising star dropped his second studio album, Been One, which includes features from Lil Baby, Lil Yachty, Lil Durk, Est Gee, Fridayy and more. Rodriguez’s penchant for love-drunk ballads and seamless R&B flips is resonating with fans, as his album peaked at #3 on the Rap charts. Rodriguez is the inaugural signing to Dominque Jones aka Lil Baby’s label, Glass Window Entertainment, in conjunction with Motown/Capitol.
