Frequently listening to a wide array of artists ranging from: Nas, Biggie and Tupac to Common, Eminem, Kanye and Lauryn Hill, he began penning bars for fun – ultimately developing a cunning ability to formulate eye-opening freestyles. Now in college, the OC native decided to pursue Hip-Hop wholeheartedly.
Osi began to recognize his talents after winning California State University, Fullerton’s first #NoBeatJustBars student rap contest. This accomplishment allowed him to performing at their first Hip-Hop symposium. He would end up moving a large crowd with a charismatic and energetic stage presence – ultimately garnishing attention and signing a contract with San Francisco based independent label, Richland Records.
