Los Angeles, CA —September 19th, 2025— Global hip-hop collaboration takes center stage with the release of “Cockpit,” the brand-new single from Rio Mf Dio (Los Angeles), Blazini19 (Berlin), and Ralphy Red (Philadelphia).


What began as Berlin rapper Blazini19’s vision for a high-powered anthem turned into an international alliance. After reaching out to Rio Mf Dio to feature on the track, Blazini19 soon connected with Philadelphia’s Ralphy Red. The result? A powerhouse record blending West Coast energy, European edge, and East Coast grit.


With sharp flows, relentless energy, and a theme of taking control and rising above, “Cockpit”embodies the fearless momentum of hip-hop culture today.


“This track is about elevation,” said Blazini19. “Bringing Rio and Ralphy into the cockpit created something bigger than I imagined.”


“Cockpit” will be available on all streaming platforms

Rio Mf Dio Brings the Heat to the Lotus Festival at Echo Park Lake


This year’s Lotus Festival at Echo Park Lake lit up with an unforgettable performance by none other than Rio Mf Dio. Known for her bold style and electric energy, she hit the stage with a specially prepared set that had the crowd vibing from start to finish. Dressed in a custom red Chinese dress made just for the festival—complete with chopsticks in her hair—Rio made sure her presence was as striking as her performance. Her dancers matched the energy, rocking black Chinese-style shirts and chopsticks, moving in perfect sync with the beat.


Rio opened the show with “Makin Noiz,” immediately grabbing attention, and kept the momentum going with back-to-back hits: “Deadlock,” “Bacc Onit,” “Stand Up,” and her newest release, “Switch Up.” She closed out the set by circling back to “Makin Noiz,” this time joined onstage by Sayuri Elsie, the featured artist on the track, who brought even more energy to the stage as she hyped Rio up and shared the spotlight.
