It’s obvious looking at a profile pic of 2019 Rapzilla Freshmen Don Ryvcko that he isn’t your typical white rapper. Scrolling through his Instagram, you’ll find him with a jacket with the Honduran flag stitched above his heart. Sometimes a bottle capped drink will rest in his right hand. Most of his captions are in Spanish. While he is an American by law, by heart he is Honduran. Ethnic Roots Ryvcko’s parents first stayed in Honduras as missionaries till they decided to stay permanently. Ryvcko spent the first ten years of his life in the Central American country. His family […]

Corey Wise is one of the best up and coming artists in Christian rap. Rapzilla noticed, the CHH community noticed, and the music spoke for itself.
