NEW ARTIST ON THE RISE: RO.A (@RO_OUTSYDERS)

RO.A is not your every day, ordinary rap artist. In an era where the majority of artists are pretty much formulated, RO.A stands out as a real one of a kind. At first glance, towering at 6’4″ you would not assume that RO.A was a rapper/producer/songwriter, but with his embrace of his Nigerian culture, trademark PEER*D shirt, colorful style, wit, and laid back persona,he brings a uniqueness that your average music listener can embrace and relate to. Residing in Atlanta, RO.A dropped his first mixtape on August 22nd called Lowkey Famous Hosted by DJ ILL WILL. Though he is best known for pitching in with his production team called The Outsyders (who produced the smash hit Brittany Spears’ Womanizaer), he is now self efficient; putting in tremendous amount of work and determination to step out from behind the shadows. 

Here is his latest single: They Loss
