Interview with O'Lo
What was it like growing up in Brooklyn? What made you decide to make a move to Miami to make your mark as an artist there?
O'Lo: Everything is Faster in New York. Bright lights means nothing when you come from the city. You walk and talk different when you're from Brooklyn. It's just that sheer confidence you and other people show. Actually, my mother kicked me out the house and sent me to Florida. Florida showed different things and I was able to grow more. The combination of New York and South Florida, made me who I am today. It's all LOVE.
How did you come up with that name O'Lo? What was your inspiration behind the name?
O'Lo: O'Lo means standing alone. Same meaning as Solo, Dolo etc. You're born alone and you die alone. Do what you can in between.
I see that you have a love for Old School. Please tell us your motivation behind your love for Old School hip hop and what is some of your favorite jams.
O'Lo: I grew up listening to Mobb Deep, Capone - N - Noreaga, Biggie, Jay-Z, Nas, DMX, The Lox, Boot Camp Clik and Wu-Tang to name a few. I don't have a favorite jam. I love a lot of music!!! I can't pick a few. We'll be here all day.
