With his banger FRFR with Dutch Rugar tearing up our hip-hop charts, KO a.k.a. Mr 612 took some time to talk to us about holding it down for Minnesota.

Who are you?

I’m KO, an Independent Rap/Hip-hop artist from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I am currently managed by Elite Global Management LLC.

How did you get into making music?

I started writing punchline bars at a very young age and became popular amongst peers as I’d rap battle in the lunchroom, where I got the name KO. Once I reached High School I knew music was more then a hobby and transferred to the High School for Recording Arts my sophomore year.

What’s the inspiration behind the song and music video?

I did this track for all the non-believers and doubters, to let it be known we (Minnesota Artists) do take this music serious and every move is strategically planned. This is my first OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO Shot by @KCPVisuals, & I had to get the high energy @DutchRugar on the Record! We do this shit FrFr!

What should fans look out for?

I will be releasing my second album “Round 1” December 1st. With the lead single “FrFr” Ft. Dutch Rugar, followed by “Can’t Tell Me Nothin” Ft. Rello heading to radio for heavy rotation. My first Album “Money & Music” Produced by Jrum Beats, was released in 2012 and is AVAILABLE NOW on CDBaby.
