▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ To some, becoming a hip-hop artist is ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ simply a distant dream that often gets ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ lost in the unpredictable script of life. ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ Opportunities to build in the industry ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ are frequently out of reach and ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ unavailable. However, those with ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ ambition and drive find a way to ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ overcome the obstacles standing in their ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ way and somehow manage to make something ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ out of nothing. Divo is one of these ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ people. Born Andres Ramirez in the ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ impoverished Central American country of ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ Guatemala, he grew up with the ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ determination he needed to make ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ something of himself. At the tender age ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ of five, Divo and his family were ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ forced to leave his war-torn country ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ and start a new life in Canada where he ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ was first introduced to the sounds of ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ hip-hop. ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ In the early 90s, hip-hop was growing ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ and so was its influence on Divo. He began ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ to write at the age of thirteen, but a ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ future in hip-hop was a farfetched ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ aspiration at the time. Through the ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ years he became a self-supportive ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ youth, turning to the streets, where he ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ soon made a name for himself as an ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ aspiring rapper. In 1999 Divo's ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ infatuation with hip-hop intensified ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ and he began recording for his debut ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ album entitled, ?Sparks of Friction? ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ released in 2000. Among other ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ collaborations, it contained the ?Bad ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ Side Remix? featuring Classified. The ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ album marked the beginning of his ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ formal career as a lyricist. ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ Divo's lyrical and musical skills ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ developed over the next two years, ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ which led to his 2002 sophomore release, ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ ?The Evolution Theory?. This album ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ represented his transition from an ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ amateur emcee to a professional ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ lyricist. The album included a number ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ of collaborations with noted Canadian ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ independent artists such as Classified, ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ Dan-e-o, Bishop, and Miranda from the ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ Juno Award winning duo, Latoya & ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ Miranda. The album's lead single, ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ ?Don't Believe Remix?, an infectious, ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ head-nodding track, caught the attention ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ of Canadian hip-hop fans across the ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ country, maintaining regular rotation ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ on commercial and college radio ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ stations. Although not released as a ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ single, the heartfelt track ?Feel the ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Rain?, was a favorite among fans and won ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ Divo a grant for free manufacturing. ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ Not wasting any time, Divo began working ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ on his third album, which proved to be a ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ vital learning experience both ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ personally and professionally. At the ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ same time, his list of achievements ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ grew when he acquired his college ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ diploma in graphic design. His diligent ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ work ethic and intuitive business sense ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ led to the start of Street Science ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ Entertainment, a company that manages ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ his music career and also provides ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ graphic design services. Divo's focus soon ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ changed from treating music as an ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ entertaining hobby to a strategic ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ business endeavor. For this reason ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Divo appropriately named this album ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ ?This iz Bizness?. The LP eloquently ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ displays his maturity and creativity as ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ an artist and businessman. By retaining ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ a higher degree of creative control on ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ the project, he was able to determine ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ his own distinct sound, which sets him ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ apart from the generic cast of emcees ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ found in today's industry. Divo's ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ desire to work with Canada's most ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ respected emcees, led him to ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ collaborate with the likes of DL ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ Incognito, Eternia, Tara Chase, Bishop, ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ May One 9 from Brassmunk, and D-Sisive; ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ a feat that is rarely seen in ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
