Listen to O & S’s mixtape “The Leak”.

Straight outta NY’s Lower East Side – Jacob Riis Houses aka Alphabet City comes Oneal and Skee; Rap Duo O&S. Oneal and Skee met due to a fight they had with each other in their neighborhood as young boys.

Even though the two lived directly across from each other they didn’t get along until a mutual friend in Junior High School brought them together and they instantly developed a friendship and began hanging together consistently from then on.

That was the beginning of O&S. Oneal was always into rapping and creating music and ultimately influenced Skee after he began to act as Oneal’s hype man. One year later they were writing and rhyming together as a team.
