Changing the game like NBA referees!

About Me

Yes Yall... I go by the name D.O. standing for Defy the Odds... To be a rapper in Canada you got to Defy the Odds... get it? Also cause I come from a lot of places, from small towns, to a few different provinces, I represent the Canada to the fullest. I used to be known for my freestyling - see Guinness World Record... but now its been all about the music since I released my debut album the Northstarr and the singles Just Forfeit, Defy the Odds, Young Brother and more! I've got a few videos from the album so you can check them out in the videos section ya dig...Also just signed a deal with Halflife Records(Classified)/EMI (nickleback, sum 41, K-OS) for my next album so look out for it in the fall of 2008!
