Bronx native, hip-hop musician, and professional yo-yoer Richard Pigkaso has released the music video for \u201cReady, Set, Go,\u201d alongside \u201cWanna Play With My Yo-Yo?\u201d ahead of the release of the album slated to be his final studio release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Born in Castle Hill in the Bronx, Richard Pigkaso has been influenced by old school Hip Hop and R&B since youth. Described as a loner and often set apart from the crowd for being marching to the beat of his own drum, Pigkaso<\/a> found solace and joy in the yoyo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt became my creative outlet because I would always be alone \u2013 playing video games, going outside and not having many friends. I realized it became something calming for me. Something that allowed me to forget what was going on in my life at that point.\u201d<\/p>\n– Pigkaso<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Over time, playing with the classic toy grew from a simple hobby to an impressive skill he showed off in competitions across the United States- even qualifying in a few international meets. The joy of the yo-yo has never left Pigkaso\u2019s heart, but since graduating from college he saw his horizons broadened with the exciting addition of music as a medium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pigkaso\u2019s musical ventures have brought him incredible joy already, but with his upcoming release he hopes to expand his love for the yo-yo and channel his musical roots through a message of love and support for those who struggle to find acceptance within themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lusus Naturae 3: You\u2019re Beautiful Gorgeous<\/em> is set to be Pigkaso\u2019s final studio album as an artist, the culmination of both his image as the humble and charismatic yo-yoer and the ambitious emcee inextricably tied to the Bronx<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a hard-hitting beat and one piece of the culminating lyrical royale that is the album, \u201cWanna Play With My Yo-Yo?\u201d will excite old listeners and new with its hard-hitting sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
