"Villen" Aka Mr. Riva himself is much more than just your stereotypical "Chicano Rap artist". Brought up in the streets of Eastside Riverside CA, Villen has not only created a figure for himself but has completely reconstructed the way that people will label Mexican Rap Artists today. With only one Album titled "Life in The Riva" and a Mixtape "Till I Die" , Villen has gained the approval from thousands of fans from in and out of his stomping grounds. Villen says " it aint about the fame for me, and its barely about the money, all i want to do is to be the best example i can to the youth and if the money comes after that then let it be".
