S.O. was born in Brooklyn, New York on August 3, 1983 where he lived in the Flatbush neighborhood (which was also once home to Talib Kweli, Busta Rhymes and Shaggy amongst other notables) with his parents and older brother. At the age of 2, his father left, and he, his brother, and his mother moved in with his grand-parents in the Bed-Stuy neigborhood (once home to Jay-z, Biggie Smalls, and Lil’ Kim amongst others).

Growing up in Brooklyn, S.O. was exposed to many different genres of music, especially rap. Ironically, S.O. didn’t become interested in rap music until he moved to Prince George’s County, Maryland at the age of 10 when his aunt bought him a computer. He would find lyrics to popular rap songs, memorize them, and then rap them to his friends in class and in the hallways in elementary and middle school. He eventually started writing his own lyrics as well as making beats on his computer.

From middle school through high school, S.O. engulfed himself in the world of rap music, freestyling and writing his own lyrics to any beat he could get his hands on. But it wasn’t until a year after high school when his girlfriend at the time gave birth to his son, that S.O. got serious about his music and started pursuing it as a career.

Over the years, S.O. (who started going by the moniker ‘S.O.’) aligned himself with a couple of different individuals and groups, attempting to earn money with his music as well as other various business ventures, none of which panned out. Eventually, he found himself alone and thoroughly disappointed with the way things were going. S.O. decided he would focus on something that could put some money into his pockets immediately, and so he fell back from rapping, and focused his efforts on becoming a hip-hop producer instead.

In 2009, S.O. custom built his own computer and mini home recording studio in his bedroom and began selling beats and letting other local artists record at his studio. It was during this time that he met Stan Villier, who was at the time, an A&R for an independent record label based in Jacksonville, Florida. Even though S.O. claimed he wasn’t rapping anymore, Villier recognized his talent through hearing some of the songs S.O. had previously recorded.

Soon after S.O. began producing tracks for Villier’s artists, issues with the label came up. This prompted Villier, along with long-time friend and rapper, Akeem ‘A’ Brodie, to sever ties with the label and form their own record label – 757 Entertainment.

At the same time, S.O.’s talent and passion for rapping lead him to make yet another transition, and much to Villier’s delight, S.O. came from behind the mixing board and went back inside the recording booth.

In April of 2009, with the backing and support of 757 Entertainment, S.O. began recording songs for his first mixtape entitled, “The Proposal”. The Proposal was released August 2010. However, due to insufficient funds and resources to properly promote the mixtape, it didn’t go very far.

After some differences with the label, S.O. decided to part ways and stopped doing music all together. Until February 2013 when he resurfaced by recording a remix to Drake’s “Started From The Bottom”. The remix seamed to catch on quickly racking up over 300 listens and 80 downloads on his soundcloud account with zero promotion.

Realizing that there was a huge over saturation of free rap mixtapes on the market, S.O. decided pull The Proposal mixtape, dump 95% of the tracks from it, and turn it into an EP. The first single from the EP is “Amazing Girl”, a seductively bouncy smooth-type track with beat production by Pusher Productions.

The Proposal EP is set to be released in Fall 2013.
