Damario Donshay Horne-McCullough, known professionally as Rio da Yung OG, is an American rapper from Michigan. He is known for being a key rapper in the Flint and Detroit rap scene and collaborating with Flint and Detroit rappers such as RMC Mike and Peezy. He was sentenced to five years in prison in 2021 but continued to create music while incarcerated. He was released on December 11, 2024 and has continued to release music. He is a signee of Peezy's record label Boyz Entertainment.

Rio da Yung OG has visible facial scarring due to deep second-degree burns on the right side of his face. In an interview, he revealed that he got the scars when he was 12, as he tried to cook French fries, but was intoxicated and forgot about them, and a grease fire began. He attempted to stop the fire with water, which is dangerous because grease has a lower density than water, causing it to go up and expand the flames upwards. The burn remains because he denied getting skin graft treatment.

On February 27, 2019, Rio da Yung OG and 14 co-defendants were charged for multiple federal crimes. Rio da Yung OG was sentenced to five years in federal prison after pleading guilty to one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. He began serving his sentence in Summer 2021 after surrendering himself at the behest of the court. RMC Mike said on the No Jumper podcast that Rio da Yung OG was to be released early from December 2023 to January 2024.

Rio's arrest sparked the "Free Rio" movement. Rappers Trippie Redd and Louie Ray made songs dedicated to freeing Rio. The rapper Peezy also released the mixtape Free Rio. Other rappers supporting his release included 42 Dugg, BabyTron, and RMC Mike.

He was released from jail on December 11, 2024, having served 3 years and 8 months of his sentence.
