"Love Is," by S.O.

I heard this song on the DJ Wade-O Radio Show a few weeks back but didn't get to check the playlist to see who the personnel was. A Web crawl for new music solved the mystery for me!

The artist is S.O., which is an abbreviation of his name, Seun Otukpe. S.O. hails from Durham, UK by way of Nigeria. He began his hip-hop ministry in 2006, according to his Myspace page, and has been on tracks with UK CHH gospel acts including Jahaziel and Four Kornerz.

If you haven't already, feast your ears on "Love Is:



The song, produced by Battle Axe, has a classic hip-hop sound, with a sparse boom-bap beat embellished with a light touch of piano. On it, S.O. gives praise for God's love, the realest there is. "True love is found in the Gospel," he reminds us.

Want more from S.O.? He is currently hard at work on writing and recording for a future EP, to be called "Bridgin' the Gap." Battle Axe will be producing all the EP tracks.
