San Francisco, CA: From the streets of Northern California, Slo-O, the latest artist to be signed to the Checkmate Muzik label, has recently dropped his much anticipated debut album, "Game Over" on July 9th, 2002. With lyrics that bring to life the struggles of being raised in a rough neighborhood in Fillmore, Slo-O invites you into his version of life?"street reality." Like a book of different lifestyles, every track on "Game Over" has a different chapter that that takes you through a journey, touching on subjects of violence, struggle, money, drugs, expressing of trials and tribulations and life on the streets. The message is that there are no games involved. This is "real life" to him and millions like him in the urban parts of the country. People lose their life for mere survival, just to wake up the next day to fight for it again. His lyrics make you run with imagination and his passion for storytelling will make you feel like you lived his life. "Chromed Up," the first single to be released off of "Game Over" is a party club banger. Second single is song called "Thug Life" which captures the story of his life. Touching on subjects from his personal struggle with family and how hard life was growing up without a mom or a dad to the street life he has grown to love and trust, this 23 year old rapper has experienced a part of life that many don't live to talk about. For the recording of "Game Over", Slo-O brought in other underground rappers like Metro, Eddie Boy, Chu-Luv, 30-30, E-O The Red Nose, The Vigg, Jo-Luv the Savage and Young Tyson. Teaming up with rapper Metro for the song "20-Inch Ryders," Slo-O talks about money, jewelry, and driving expensive cars with an ironic twist. On the one hand you have the 'Lex' with the rims and the guy on the street smoking cigars on the other you have the prison reality of twenty-five to life. It's the concept of these opposing worlds, which compliments the music. For the street minded, there is the realness of "Live Niggaz", "Game Over", and "Where U At." On "Game Over," Slo-O exposes life on the streets with such sharp lyrics and a smooth flow that he challenges your way of thinking.
