In 2007, Rizzo released his first mixtape No Looking Back, the project was a street album due to it containing only original songs. The mixtape included "The Rain" which was his first song to be featured on airwaves, it was made available only physical copies via his official website but later was available on Datpiff.com.

According to a recent article in Philippine Showbiz Republic, Dumlao mentions, “Whether its national or international, wherever the people want to see me tour, I’m always happy to give them a live performance.”[16]

He released “Game Over" mastered by Tony Dawsey[17] and has dedicated the sales of iTunes towards charity by those affected by natural disasters.
