K.O-Lition (De-Lo)

From Flatbush, Brooklyn hails duo group, K.O.-Lition. Named for being verbal Knock Out artists, hoping to shake things up and put New York back on the map. K.O.-Lition hopes to bring hip-hop back to the days where shit wasn't about portraying an image that you're not. They want to bring back the fun, partying, and even some food for thought. With management team T.Re & KMP management, productions from BroAndSis ENT., lead producers C. Roc and Khaliq, K.O. Lition‟s distinct sound is assured to provide the ingredients needed in Hip Hop/Rap today!

Purchase's own, Delorean Briggs, aka De-Lo, aka Hi-Profile Kid makes up half of the K.O-Lition duo. The group consists of him and his brother Karl Briggs aka K.Briggs. De-Lo's first battle was in junior high school against another student. "We would jack our favorite MCs and battle with their rhymes and the kid didn't know how to deliver so he always lost." "From then I realized that I had the gift of delivery.” By the time De-Lo entered high school, he slowly made his transition from Delorean Briggs to Hi-Profile Kid. De-Lo has many influences to credit his ability, Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest, Jay-Z, Black Thought, Biggie, Tupac, Maroon Five, Missy Elliot, Kanye West, Common, and Outkast, to name a few. He has a passion for the art that he loves and looks forward to being a trailblazer in the next era of rap. In the future we should expect K.O-Lition to bring back the love of lyricism, party anthems, and just good music-making.

K.O-Lition does a lot of their performances with singer Von Sway, who also hails from Brookyln, NY. Von Sway is swiftly moving on the come up. K.O-Lition gets most of their exposure from performing with Von Sway, which is just fine in my book because they sound great together. To bring 2 different groups together and being able to perform as if they were one is actually hard to do. Many people believe that Von Sway & K.O-Lition are just one group, I know I did. Von Sway is involved with the same team that K.O-Lition is (BroAndSis Ent.) so it's no wonder why they perform like they are all brothers.

Well next Wednesday you will get a chance to see Von Sway and K.O-Lition perform on B.E.T's 106&Park for Wildin' Out Wednesday! Everyone has seen the segment of the show where they have 3 performers on the show and the viewers get a chance to vote for who they believe performed the best. At the end of the show, they tally up the votes and who ever wins gets an opportunity of a life time. It can stem from more exposure, a deal, etc.
