B.A.S.K.O. is the best kept secret in hip hop. Born and raised in Rochester (the ROC), New York, the So Fly Records label Founder/President has been on the grind as long as anyone in the game. To know this is to appreciate why, when armed with an ink pen or a microphone he's most at peace, and why his passion is so clearly conveyed and transferable.
Years of dedication and perseverance have built toward this moment, and the artist who deftly crosses styles and genres has waited with grave patience: "I gave you haters ten years, and what you worth in your lives don't amount to your chain but I'm a swallow my pride." B.A.S.K.O.'s musical variety is matched only by the complexity of his character.
He's the hustler who tells it straight. The pimp whose bitches are his pens. The player who admits to getting burned. And although his art is for sale, B.A.S.K.O. is more concerned with the obligations of the artist - to entertain, to inspire, and to connect.
