“Awesome!

“Great stuff!
by Azure Legend
Keepin it short and sweet. It's hard to find decent music these days, and the first time I heard some of his music on Weekend Confirmed, I was hooked. Keep up the good work man. It's a lot easier to appreciate the music when you get a feel for the personality of the guy making it. Lookin' forward to more. :)”

“Great debut release!
by Chris Abbott
I first heard of Del Rio by listening to Shacknews' "Weekend Confirmed" podcast. They played the song "Small Town Hero" and ever since then I've been a fan, and follow Del Rio on Twitter. After months and months of checking out songs that he tweeted his album has finally dropped and it's great. High points for me are definitely tracks 1, 2, 3, and 11, but trust me, the whole album is definitely worth owning.
If you want to support real hip-hop and down-to-earth people, then don't hesitate and download this!”

“Small Town Hero represents small towns, particularly the 509's Finest in Washington State. Del Rio is from Cle Elum, WA - MY small hometown. This Grandma has never been a fan to Hip Hop/Rap; but, guess what, I love Small Town Hero. Guess I'm into Hip Hop/Rap now. ;-)”
