About Me:
Williams aka H2-O was raised in Paterson, New Jersey where his tough adolescence served as a catalyst to excel academically and would eventually propel him to attend Duke University. However, after achieving both academic and economic success, the young man was still consumed by two lifelong passions: music and love for his community.
H2-O began honing his skills by ripping stages along the eastern seaboard and dropped his first mixtape, "Teser" ("Reset" backwards), in February of 2009. Authoritative at times, burlesque at others, the promotional release was a whirlwind of lyrical dexterity and would land H2-O on the pages of several Hip-Hop publications, including The Source magazine as the "Unsigned Hype" for August 2009.
Never one to rest on his laurels, H2-O quickly followed up "Teser" with his impressive second mixtape, "The 48th Law", featuring production by sensational UK beatsmiths Street Fabulous and The Buchanans, who crafted Lupe Fiasco's "Fire". Upcoming projects will include CEO of the European Record Label - Bassivity Music - Vanja Ulepic and top flight production from Jay-Z's "Empire State Of Mind" masterminds Angela Hunte & Janet Sewell-Ulepic and Fanthom (50 Cent's "Magic Stick").
While he raps about hot whips and wild women as much as the next guy, H2-O distinguishes himself by promoting a different path to success and encouraging moderation in his rhymes, a message that seems right on time considering the mounting number of celebrity bankruptcies, foreclosures, and repossessions being reported on the gossip pages.
"Many artists in the game are fiscally responsible but they never speak about it," says the rapper, who will drop his next mixtape, "Ala Carte (Made to Order)", in February 2010. "They let fans believe that they're really blowing all this money on menial things, but in reality they aren't."
H2-O has way too much Paterson in him to conform to this apparently hypocritical mindset or the sounds currently dominating today's Hip-Hop industry. His life lessons have left an indelible mark on him and the rapper feels compelled to share those lessons with others. A gambler at heart, he is betting all of this will force him to stand out in the crowd and connect with fans on a more intimate level.
"I want fans to know when they listen to [me] they're listening to a real person that experiences real things and, regardless of his fame or bank account, he is not immune to the harsh realities of life."
