S.H.O featured on The Source magazine



So I saw this full page spread about S.H.O in the April/May issue of The Source magazine. I didn't know who he was or whatever so I decided to look him up.

Here's the 411 on S.H.O:

S.H.O is a rapper from Yokohama, Japan. He was originally an alpine skier representing Japan. During the World Cup trial in 2004, he had an accident which left him hospitalized for a year. Upon recovering, he went back to Japan to pursue a career in hip hop music. Since then he got signed to Black Wall Street Japan and released two albums: Rize&Peace and Brand.

Drop Flyer is S.H.O's latest single. I'm not really feeling the song or S.H.O's flow. He sounds kinda like a death metal rocker or the Cookie Monster. This guy should rap about cookies.
