“XO Man” One to watch

If you’ve never heard of XO-Man, you need to get to know! The 6ft 10 phenomenon (yes he really is 6ft 10) from Mitcham, South London has been doing his thing slowly but surely for a hot minute now, and in December 08 was crowned winner of HUGO BOSS URBAN RULES, and through winning it will go on to record a single with full backing from SONY BMG while playing a series of intimate live gigs.

Personally I’ve known about XO Man for a while now, from his humble beginnings as a garage/grime MC, XO has now diversified his sound and is a real breath of fresh air incorporating all sorts of musical genres within his sound. His live shows aren’t your run of the mill MC spitting bars on a backing track dropped by a dj, NO... These performances have character, including a live band and usually some off the cuff banter.

With a quirky swagger, an excellent live show, and great comedic lyrical content, I’m definitely shouting out XO Man as one to look out for, furthermore I’d recommend you go see him, and while you’re there you might as well cop some neat goodies. You can see him next at WIRED 6th April, @Shoreditch house, London.
