Meanwhile, Santino
Corleon is making hip-hop records suitable for a ride through the streets of Cincinnati, or, maybe more specifically, Finneytown.
It turns out it’s the same 39-year-old rapper, a graduate of Finneytown High School making different tunes under slightly different names for different platforms.
Santino signed a record deal with 83 Sound, a Los Angeles label with a content-provider specialty. Santino’s single “GOAT” was used in ads for the 2020 television game-show special “Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time.” “Monday Night Football” used his single “Notorious” last season.

Santino, who splits time between an apartment in Los Angeles and a home in Cincinnati, explained how he’s making things happen in the commercial world of music while still pursuing hip-hop dreams.
