About Me

D.L.O (Dialect lyrical One) was born in Chicago, IL and raised in Madison,WI. DLO began his music career in 1996 with group called Kaotic Intentions. During this time the group opened up from majors acts such Twista and Do or Die. In search of a new musical direction DLO and his childhood friend Reggie Reynolds released two strong EPs ( Rhyme Reneisance-1999 & Playing For Keeps-2000) under the name DSP ( Da Supreme Prophets). As an undergraduate in 2003 DLO released an solo Ep called Sample This which received postive reviews from the local Hip Hop scence. DLO is now the founder of IceMantis Productions LLC which has provided tracks for Hip Hop, Jazz and RnB artists in Wisconsin.
