Flipping the script from his other collaborative
project, Ten Days Till, which saw placements in
American Pie 6 Beta House, EA Sports NBA Live 07 and
Paula Abdul's Hey Paula and which saw OD and Lifford
sell thousands of copies of their independently
released Get Them Hands Hi, OD Hunte now brings you
K.O. and OD Hunte "Back to the Hip Hop". On this 4
track EP, we again see OD Hunte exercising his
production skills but this time out providing sung
vocal support to the prodigal 18 year old Swiss rapper
K.O..
Born and raised in the city of Geneva, Switzerland to
French and British parents, K.O. possesses a vocal and
lyrical maturity way beyond his stated years. Citing
his biggest influences as Lupe Fiasco and Method Man,
amongst others, it's easy to see that the many years
spent donning headphones and listening to America's
finest wordsmiths while attending international school
has shaped K.O.'s mastery of the Hip Hop art form in
his short 3 years of rapping, and conveniently given
him a US accent. With every song he records, K.O.
delivers more potent word play in his quest for pen
the perfect rhyme.
While "Back to the Hip Hop" with lead single "Blow Up"
is a commercial pop hip hop collaborative effort, the
rest of the EP effortlessly mixes old skool sounding
elements with modern and futuristic production. The
same production skills which has helped OD to place
his tracks in high profile US media such as MTVs the
Hills, Yo Mama, EA sports Fight Night Round 3, Pimp My
Ride, My Sweet 16, Date My Mom, Yo Mama and has seen
OD place tracks in literally scores of other
international shows and work with acts such as Leona
Lewis, Leela James, Unkle Jam, Leon Jean Marie and
many others.
