I recently had the very great honor to interview the brash and talented young rap artist O-King. Endorsed by Snoop Dogg and featuring Lil Wayne on one of his tracks, this 17-year-old is living proof that you can be young and still rap with power & knowledge. From the small town of Van Vleck outside…
