VIDEO: TTG Rio – “Young Lean”

Milwaukee’s melodic rap pipeline keeps producing, and TTG Rio is once again proof that the city has been quietly stacking talent while everyone else was busy looking elsewhere. The rising rapper has dropped the official music video for “Young Lean,” another standout cut from his 2025 project Who Is Rio?, courtesy of Run Along Forever and directed and edited by Nolan Busalacchi.

Clocking in at a tight, no-filler runtime, “Young Lean” leans into exactly what TTG Rio does best: hook-driven melodic rap that moves fast, hits hard, and refuses to overstay its welcome. The track rides a sharp, high-BPM beat that gives Rio room to bounce between catchy cadences and quick-witted flexes, the kind of song built equally for headphones, car speakers, and the late-night corners of your “For You” page.

Visually, Busalacchi keeps the energy locked in. The Run Along Forever-presented video matches the song’s pace with crisp editing, confident framing, and that homegrown Milwaukee atmosphere that has become a signature of Rio’s recent run. It’s polished without losing the raw, of-the-moment feel that has made TTG Rio a name to watch in the Midwest scene since his early Riverside High School days.

“Young Lean” arrives as part of the broader Who Is Rio? rollout, an 11-track project that has been steadily pushing TTG Rio further onto the national radar alongside recent visuals like “Just Human” and “Watch Da Moon.” If this is the pace he plans to keep, the question in the album title is going to answer itself pretty quickly.

Hit play, turn it up, and keep an eye on the Run Along Forever camp — they’re not slowing down anytime soon.
