Riaga

Riaga, born Glenn Blassingame Jr. and formally known as "Glendale S. Caztro", is a 24 Year Old recording artist hailing from Aurora, Colorado. Being mixed Peruvian (Peru) and African-American, he takes pride in acknowledging both races through both his artist name, Riaga (Short for his mother's maiden name, Saldarriaga), and his image. His biggest influences in Hip-Hop growing up were Tupac, Notorious B.I.G., Jay Z, Eminem, Joe Budden, Fabolous, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Ludacris, Outkast, E-40, and many more. Although many make different comparisons to his rapping, he definitely has a sound, voice and artistry no one has ever heard before. He plans on making noise in the game in a way where he is hardly seen but always heard. 

Despite him not roaming in the same circles or being held in the same regards with the more popular artists (Local, Independent and Mainstream), he is recognized by A-List people in the industry for his many talents and is perceived as a premiere MC in Hip-Hop. He has been featured on major sites such as Boi-1da.net and Thisis50.com, which has made his career more than credible amongst peers. Many anticipate his outbreak to be a "game changer" once given the opportunity. With his following growing in each of his releases, he is making a huge impact on everyone and creating a solid foundation for himself in the game.
