Mixtape: XO – Monumental

xo

XO f/ Allison Carney – “FRNO”

XO f/ Gorda Brega – “Idle Hands“

from Monumental (Mixtape/Studio 43, 2009)

Yet another tape from hyper prolific DC emcee XO, who you might have heard on the Diamond District project with Oddisee and Yu. There are at least a half dozen rappers in this city who deserve the sort of press that Wale has been getting and XO is one of them. Hopefully he’ll get just that now that he’s linked up with Kenny Burns and Studio 43. This has more of a mellow vibe than his previous Realmatic, but it suits him well. AB The Producer handled all the beats here. Tracklisting after the jump. (via Illroots)

    Monumental was – is great, but check out the “All I Had” animated XO video on vimeo.com. Also, download XO’s new mix “One One Ten”.
    Then ask yourself the question: How You Like Me Now?
