Kid Quo is an emcee and spoken word artist. As Tobi Adeoye, he is also a member of the .
Artists I emulate: I look up to Busta Rhymes because of all the energy he is able to bring onto the stage with him from his Leader of the New School days.
Performance style: High energy and motivated. I always try to get the crowd going and involved in the songs as much as possible. It is important that I give my fans energy to feed off of so that they can get real hype and I can feed off their energy.
Venues I play: Hip-hop dance clubs and theatres. The occasional house party.
Artist philosophy: Work now play later. My momma taught me that.
What makes me unique: Hip-hop is much more than music -- it's a lifestyle. Therefore, safe guarding truth and maintaining knowledge of self are the most important things to me. Personally I am in the game to make timely records, representative of Kid Quo's personal inlook/outlook and based on my interactions with others, my life experiences and the universe at large. I'm also going to put Takoma Park, Maryland on the map.
