Alex “P.Casso” Ampadu wants to redefine hip-hop. And that’s no easy task. As part of the AOK Collective—comprised of rappers Fresh Daily, Homeboy Sandman, 8thW1, Nola Darling, 2 Hungry Bros. and Print—the Buffalo-to-Brooklyn transplant is finally looking to step out on his own. His debut album, For Your Consideration ..., finds the whimsical wordsmith in good company, with appearances from VonPea, Ejukashun and AOK members. Lauded as one of the next big players to blow from New York, his clever wordplay and intricate illusions merit comparisons to rap veterans Q-Tip and Common. There’s no denying it: P.Casso is a key player in turning the underground movement into an overground hip–hop renaissance. Just remember who told you first.
