Who is "II X"...
A 27-year-old Puerto Rican, with the knowledge of the streets and Christ, Oscar was raised in the inner city of Waterbury, Connecticut, located in New England's megalopolis, the most populated stretch of land on the east coast (Boston to NYC).
Oscar was raised to be a street survivor. His location forced him to wise up because of the growing gang population.
His faith would come to some trials in the early 90's when fighting for survival pushed him into a slump. But that slump opened his eyes to a new way of surviving... HIP HOP.
II X (that's 210) is the best-kept secret in the Hip Hop Nation. Known, in most battles as The Chameleon, for his freestyle ability to match any challengers' style and beat them at their own game. II X learned the important things about the game and one them was the most apparent to him. Ones social upbringings impacts the message being blasted on the radio. This taught that the game is evolving and it's future its not looking so bright.
Realizing that his lyrics were just a carbon copy of what the rest of the world wanted him to say, he decided to go up stream, against the flow. And test his "skill" against the TRUTH. After truly being formed by the TRUTH his mission was remixed to sounds of hope.
There is no question that this brother brings some serious lyrical talent on the mic, and that is always followed up by powerful and hard hitting messages to the glory of Jesus Christ. When it comes to giving testimony to the power of the LORD in one's life... few are as real, sincere and honest as IIX, bringing you the gospel with no sugar coating and straight from the heart of his life and experience. All for Jesus!
