Why we like X.O.: A laid back Cali emcee, and winner of “Warner Bros. Hip Hop Showcase” in San Diego, this 6’6 rapper has his sights set on bigger things. His flow drops like butter over a beat, and well... “30k views, just a nigga with a laptop/ fuckin with women who look better than your back-drop” is pretty nice. Artist Bio:Standing at a height of 6’6’’ and rapping out of San Diego California, Xavier Osayande, the Nigerian-American better known as “X.O.” is an unsigned hip-hop artist making waves throughout Southern California. X.O. is ushering in a new age of hip-hop that combines witty lyrical content and a smooth, laid-back style. His latest mixtape Check Please Vol. 3 has been critically acclaimed by numerous hiphop blogs and industry critics proving that this 23-year-old is ready to take that next step into superstardom. After winning Warner Bros Music Group’s hip-hop showcase in San Diego, California, X.O has set his sights on bigger things; creating quality and original sounding hiphop music, touring, and growing his fan base across the United States. My influences are Pac, Loso, and Kanye West. Here's the track that landed him on Heat Seekers - Orange
