It was more then a year and a half ago that Pheo released his criminally slept upon California opus Word to Your Blogger. The title alone was a cheeky statement mocking the circle jerk of politicking rap blogs who fail to recognize anyone outside of their immediate circle of friends and well wishers. Lost amongst a sea of pre-pubescent jerk artist & Los Angeles sneaker rap, Pheo was relegated to playing second string to the likes of the heavily hyped U-N-I, Pacific Division & Dom Kennedy. It’s really a fuckin shame that such a good body of work was so greatly  ignored by the self anointed “taste makers” , but fuck it that’s how the ball bounces sometimes.

A lesser man would have probably killed himself after pouring his heart into one of the better mixtapes to come out of California and not seeing any sort of recognition…What did Pheo do? The Loc licked his wounds, out performed every artist he shared the stage with, & built a reputation as one of the best rappers on this side of the country. As his new jaw dropping project “Wriot” is set for release, I invite all to take a brief look back at what is most certainly a humorous, vulnerable,  introspective , blue print for his future greatness.
