About Me

"Northern Alberta, born and raised, on the prairies where I spent most of my days." Doing what, you ask? Nothing really.
A.O.K. formally Justice?, formally Poppa Smurf, formally Amoora Banadoora -- but always Omar Mouallem -- is an emcee stationed in Edmonton, A;berta. Lives with his parents, for real yo!
Aside from music, AOK is a writer and filmmaker. With his films he entertains, with his music that he alleviates. Influenced by the modern day man, AOK is himself on the mic and on the streets. Eccentric, charming, caustic and crass -- he's the type of boy you take home to meet your mama.
Recently AOK is shifting from the rabble-rousing image he honed as Justice?. Growing more and more apathetic and self-indulgent with every day, he is putting the spotlight on himself and vociferating his personality rather than his beliefs.
He enjoys cinema, live hip-hop, peanut brittle, David Cross, semantics, writing in third person and is a closet ailurophile (he fancies the felines).

Dear Santa, My name is Omar, I'm 21 years old and grew up in a Muslim household. For that reasons, I guess I never qualified for your annual giveaway. However, in the past few years I've drifted away ...

Somewhere between Arab and Canadian

You have no idea how confusing it is to be an Arab-Canadian. When I was a kid, I thought my civil rights extended as far as demanding all beef hot dogs in the school cafeteria. In 1993 I was too occup...

I'm not in LEBANON.

Don't delude yourself, shit happens for no reason. My mother tells me otherwise. That the reason I'm not in Lebanon is to keep me safe. That's selfish. Shit happens, setting fo...
