BIOGRAPHY
Introducing one of the most prolific and underrated hip hop lyricists of our
generation, Mr. SOS. His ability to mix the fire of a battle emcee
with the substance of a creative songwriter has earned him such titles as
Wordsmith by The Source and underground legend by some of the more successful
names in the game such as Jin The Emcee, and to this day has shared stages
with other acts such as Cee-Lo, Brand Nubian, The Pharcyde,
Raekwon, Royce 5'9, Little Brother, The Ying Yang
Twinz, and has even recieved accolades from the father of The Zulu Nation
himself, Afrika Bambaataa.
SOS was born with the name David Diaz in San Francisco California on March 28th, 1979. When he was 6, his family moved him to South Florida and 5 years later he began writing rap songs for fun, not knowing that he would never be able to stop. By the time he turned 21 he had already gained recognition for winning battles at local and international events such as Pro Am, and later appearing on The Source Soundlab's unsigned hype battle which aired on UPN and is also on The Source's Unsigned Hype DVD.
SOS is mostly known for his affilliation with the group CunninLynguists, who are also made up of Kno and Deacon The Villain. In 2001, after meeting Deacon during a hip hop show in Florida and then later making a great impression on Kno in 2002 again in Florida, this time during spring break, he was featured on the song "Ain't No Way" on the CunninLynguists' debut album Will Rap For Food. He became a member of the Lynguists' for the next release "Southernunderground" which contained underground hits such as "Seasons" featuring Masta Ace and RJD2, "Nasty Filthy" featuring Cashmere The Pro and Supastition, and who can forget the timeless SOS song "Rain".
He later released his first solo project "SOS For President the mix tape" and recently released the sequel SOS For President 2: Inauguration. Other appearances include the BEEF DVD (original and Bonus Disk where he battles his way through various local Atlanta emcees in order to win first place), QN5 compilation albums Asterisk:One, Two, and Three, and "Illtown" (1995) motion picture starring Michael Rappaport, Tony Danza, and Isaac Hayes.
Now heads anxiously await the release of the highly anticipated solo debut entitled Dr. Strangelove scheduled to drop Fall 2005 with production by Kno, Deacon The Villain, Tonedeff, and himself. How does the music sound? The best part is the music speaks for itself... SO TURN THIS SHIT UP!
