He was born in the uptown section of the city, at ░░ Howard University Hospital, to two musical parents. His father toured ░░ with Gil Scott Heron while his mother played with Richard Smallwood. XO ░░ is also closely related to singing legend David Ruffin adding to his ░░ musical inheritance & repertoire. As a youth, growing up poor in a single ░░ parent household, getting evicted and moving from place to place, XO ░░ began expressing himself naturally thru music. In his early years he ░░ played piano and trumpet. In high school at age 16 he started performing ░░ at ôopen micsö on U Street. Frequently, he started attending an all age ░░ ôopen micö called ôTru Schoolö where he met Oddisee, yU, Slimcat, and ░░ Gadget and started to make music with all of them. ░░ ░░ It wasnÆt long before he had a reputation on the streets as being a solid ░░ emcee even though he did not have material out. XO put out his first ░░ project ôTakeoverö and was introduced by Wale to Judah and together they ░░ put out the ôTimeless EPö, ôTakeover 2ö with the help of Charles Keys, ░░ ôUs vs. Themö and ôRealmaticö. That momentum helped in landing a deal ░░ with Kenny Burns of Studio 43 who at the time was helping develop and ░░ push a lot of artist out of the city such as Wale. Studio 43 and XO ░░ partnered up and put out ôMonumentalö and ôOne One Tenö. Around that time ░░ Oddisee formed the group Diamond District with XO & yU and together they ░░ put out an album called ôIn The Ruffö that they toured Europe and the US ░░ with. The album was critically acclaimed by many hip-hop heavyweights ░░ like De la Soul, Q-tip, DJ Premier, Pete Rosenberg and moreà In August ░░ 2011, XO put out his 8th solo project entitled ôMonumental Vol. 2ö which ░░ was highlighted in the Dec. 2011 edition of Spin Magazine as one of the ░░ top 50 mixtapes of the year. His next project entitled ôThe Color Greyö ░░ was released in the Summer of 2012 to critical acclaim. XO's debut album ░░ "Colour de Grey" was one of the most complete projects to ever come out ░░ of the district... and it definitely lived up to the hype. ░░ ░░█ ░░███ ░█ ░░░░██ █▓█ ████░ ░░░░░██ y o o v e e y o o █████ █████ ░░░░░░██ g o t t h e ▒████░ ██▒▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ░ ██▓██ ▓█▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ███ ███ ███ ███ ███ ████ ▒▓███ ▒███ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ ░███████ ████░ ░███ ░░░░░░░█ ░███░███░█ █░███░███ █████████▒ █████ ██ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████████ █████ █ ░░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██████████████████ ████▓ ░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ████████████████████▒ ░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓██████▒▒▒▒███████░ ░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓█████▒███████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ █████▒▒░████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██▓██▒██▓███▒ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░███░█ ░███ ▒███████ /-------------------------\ ░░░██ ███ ░| shouts 2 all the groups |░ ░░░░██ ████ ░| putting o u t |░ ░░░░░██ █████ ░| quality m u s i c |░ ░░░░░░███ ████▒ \-------------------------/ ░░░░░░░▓▓█████████████▒ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
