Meet OxyxMoron: A Hip Hop Trio with Soul





On my quest to bring you the best up and coming urban acts, I was fortunate enough to stumble across a trio of brothers that are off the cuff and pretty dope in my humble opinion. More accurately, I was befriended by one third of the Hip Hop group OXYxMORON's Ment Nelson, after hearing and falling in love with one of his singles.  

Hailing from South Carolina, the trio that consists of Ment Nelson, Pedro English, and Tony London, met while attending Francis Marion University where they bonded over their love of music. Dropping out to pursue their passion for it full time, they have steadily began to build a following that has lead them to booking shows with their most recent being at the music lover's paradise of the Hopskotch Musical Festival in Raleigh, NC. 

The vibe of their music is reminiscent of Outkast before they were known to the world as Outkast. Their flows rooted in rural, southern culture but relatable to everyone regardless of geographic location. Their latest compilation, titled The Woods, is basically just good hip hop at its finest. It has the hunger of new artists, great lyrical content, and production that does not reek of the trends of current bounce and shake that ass rap.  

Don't believe me? Take a listen to The Woods by OXYxMORON for yourself and be sure to let us know what you think!
