Philo

from Compton Politics Talk Radio

Philo was not allowed to listen to secular music in the home; it wasnâ??t until his cousin left behind a cassette tape of Alliyahâ??s â??One in a Millionâ?? and Tupacâ??s â??The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theoryâ?? and was introduce to hip hop and r&b. After Philo obtained his high school diploma and join the United States Navy in 2003 he meet three of the most influential people in his music career who discovered he had a gift that could not be denied, even when he was told he was average he did not waiver. These young men formed a group called Every Angle (EA) which consist of the late PR, Smurf, Cave and Philo himself. After the end of his time in the military Philo became more dedicated to his craft, he combines lyricism and an unpredictable delivery and undeniable work-ethic. With southern phonetics to propel himself from rhyming in the streets of Port Arthur to performing world-wide on stages in places such as Thailand, Tokyo, Japan, Los Angeles, California, and Sydney, Australia to name a few. Philo can relate to a wide range of listeners from street soldiers to the socially-conscious. His music brings back that element of realism that originally helped hip-hop make the transition from a fad into a culture, he is a trendsetter who's not afraid to stand alone. That is Philo!
