KO Weekly #11 – Seedz Of Chaos

This week, we take you back to our first collaboration ever, a posse cut with one of the crews that got started the same time that we did, and served as an early inspiration to a lot of our work. Seedz Of Soul, featuring the one and only DJ Cozmos, got down with us on [...]


KO Weekly #10 – Reflections

KO Weekly #10 – Reflections

This week we take a trip back in time to visit a track that pre-dates just about everything we’ve released, and probably should have come out at the time. “Reflections” came around during one of our most productive periods in the mid 90s as we were gearing up for Spontaneity.  Like hundreds of other songs [...]

KO Weekly #5.1 – Globetrotting

 
The world is a pretty big place, and we try to make it smaller a song at a time. Although, hip hop started in the States, it’s probably more popular in other countries than it is here.

It’s safe to say that we’ve been long-time fans of professional wrestling. Someone joked that each one of our songs made some type of reference to wrestling / beating the crap out of somebody / smashing something across somebody’s foreheads, etc. In truth, we’ve always operated more [...]
