Born in Massachusetts and native of Marlboro MA, Aaron Odum is the long awaited “breath of fresh air” the soul of hip hop has needed for its revival! The initials A.O. represent his real name; Aaron Odum. He firmly believes that a true artist is a portrayal of oneself, therefore he goes by his family known nickname King A.O. His obsession for lyrical precision and creativity comes from his extensive knowledge of old school Hip-hop artists like Nas, Talib Qweli, Mos Def, Common, Eminem, AZ, Cannibus & Busta Rhymes. He makes it a point to study his peers that challenge him lyrically, like J. Cole, Drake & Lupe, particularly on his predilection of music with purpose in an industry of sellouts and gimmicks.
