Band Members: M-LO is the first artist of True2Self Entertainment born and raised in Staten Island NY (Killah Hill Projects) Yes the home of the Wu. M-lo is short for "Many Levels Of Concentration" some say I'm a back pack MC with lyrics that are to intelligent for the average listener. But as an Mc it's not my job to dumb it down, but in fact your resposibility as the listener to step your game up and get some understanding. I am who I am and I refuse to try to be something I'm not. In other words I'm not a gang banger, drug dealer, pimp or anything else these so called artist claim to be. Don't get me wrong if you actually been through these things it's only natural to express your experience but even those true life experiences can get boring if that's your only direction. Music to me is Freedom especially Hip Hop, me and my big homie Sayeed alway's talk about the Freedom in Hip Hop and that even though it is in many instances Free there are still some rules and guidlines when using this genre of music as your form of expression. If you love Hip Hop and you can appreciate lyrics opposed to a simple hook, dance and beat than I'm your man. Coming soon is the "Fully Concentrated Vol 1." Mixtape and my debut album "Many Levels Of Concentration".Look out for the "Get Focused" tour coming to a city near you soon, Peace.
