O. G. Penguin

Rising rap artist OG Penguin, born in New Orleans, LA, and raised in the inner city of San Antonio, TX. OG Penguin Injects his own unique perspective into the rap genre. With a heart felt sound that appears to be the long overdue missing link we have been craving. This brilliant artist delivers soulful coarse, at times raspy vocals, and spits fire gangsta rap tales over dramatic piano riffs, smooth electric chords and infectious hooks, with knocking bass rhythm. Most of his tracks are produced by longtime friend the up and coming underground sensation CSK (Kenny King Jr.), Gutta Beats Juggn, Waxx Taxx and OG Penguin (himself). The aspiring and provocative artist gives at times a grueling listen, he can get raw, dark and project vivid emotion which usually contrasts well with a comparatively eerie melodic backing. OG's brand is clever and appealing for music lovers and his songs are compelling from start to finish. He emerged on the seen in 1997 and continues to make solid albums which entertain a underground cult like following. His alias was giving from a early street gang membership by fellow gang associates, simply because of his natural stance as of a penguin, his chest pokes out, chin raised, arms extended and fist clenched facing the ground. OG Penguin has come a great distance and captures audiences attention at 1st glance. Known by fans to project an unusual yet insatiable persona. The Texas raised artist remains humble as well a masterful intriguing character to witness. If your new to OG Penguin music, He sounds like a seasoned MASTER P., meets young SCARFACE with a twist of PROJECT PAT riding over Three Six Mafia slash Brotha Lynch Hung tracks with a blend of his own unique sexy rock star image. It connects tightly. His voice is rich with skillful delivery and production is crisp, tracks are lifelike and theatrical with a variety of sounds to keep heads unknowingly captivated time after time. OG Penguin should find he follows in the footsteps of previous rap demigods and grab major success. His new album and already influential and talked about "CRY" is expected to be powerful, sharp and savvy.
