Rap Music I Sing
I go by the name AJO am a HipHop/ Rap recording artist from Uganda in East Africa and i just released a mixtape titled "Rap Music I Sing" on the 2nd of Feb 2015
“AJO”,
real name Ariong James Oscar is a Ugandan born and raised HIP HOP/ RAP recording
artist and song writer.
Born to a Dr. Atai Anne and Mr. James Okaali. Ajo has established
himself as a vibrant and outspoken rapper with an impressive emulsion of wit,
literacy and character in his lyrics a skill which has led many to describe him
as an intersection of hip hop talent.
Ajo’s
ambition and love for music predates his initiation into the hip hop
fraternity, “he always loved music, as a
child he used to wake everybody up early in the morning with his humming or
chanting away to some orchestra in his mind” – Dr. Atai Anne.
Ajo
started listening to hip hop music round the age of 12 shortly after his
primary school. He fell in love with the message, the attitude, the freedom,
the intricacy and the respect this genre of music commanded. It was during this
time that he started to write cover versions to his favorite hip hop songs and
gradually he developed his lyrical skill.
In
his high school, AJO together with a few of his school friends formed a music
group they called Clean Block Gang (C.B.G). Ajo and his peers strongly worked
on their music and content development, “he
wrote lyrics on almost everything; his locker, his book covers, his jean
trousers and every piece of paper he could find” – Abel lubulwa (member of
the C.B.G).
Ajo
went further to record a couple of songs like; Rap music I sing, Rap city, Take
it down easy then he teamed up with one of the best music producers in Uganda,
HANNZ TACTIQ, together with whom he did his first radio smash song, NEVER BACK DOWN on which he featured Lethal and Hannz tactiq himself. This song went on to enjoy radio streaming
and made it to a music chart on one radio station, HOT 100.
Ajo
didn’t stop there; he later got in touch with a former rapper turned producer,
Joe Tumwebaze aka J.T founder of Yego productions, a record label and it’s here
that AJO fully embraced his passion for a hip hop music career. Mentored by
J.T, he mastered his craft and worked on his first music compilation titled “Rap Music I Sing”, a piece that takes
the listener through an in-depth understanding of him as an artist and a human
being plus an appreciation of his lyrical and content maturity.
AJO
is definitely a must listen to artist with an ambition and talent enough to be
the best rapper in Africa and probably cross continent.
He
is one every aspiring rapper should look up to and every old rapper should look
out for.
