X.O. – The Takeover: Part 2 Mixtape.
X.O.‘s mixtape, The Takeover: Part 2, comes hot off the release of The Mixtape About Nothing and demonstrates that DC’s rap scene isn’t a one trick pony. The mixtape features local producers and X.O. has a solid flow. The Takeover: Part 2 isn’t the showpiece that Wale’s new tape is and isn’t as stylish as 100 Miles and Running was, but X.O. is a competent rapper and the tape has some interesting tracks. You might remember the Rid’n Remix featuring Wale. Definitely worth a listen.
A side note and personal gripe, X.O. joins a growing group of rappers whose names thwart a simple Google-search. Other perpetrators are AC, Problem and The Game. Step your naming game up, guys. Need I remind you of Dr. Wolfgang von Bushwickin’ the Barbarian Mother Funky Stay High Dollar Billstir?
