There Are Levels To Artistry

K.M.O “Judo” Song Spotlight

Written by Stacy James (@stacyjamesofficial)


here are exceptions to every rule but for the majority of history we had performers and we had producers. Separate entities that would morph together to create a product, plus a writer of course. However, times change. We find ourselves in an era where both producers and performers have their own studios in their own homes. This makes it far easier for a performer to experiment with producing their own work, making it an almost common practice and bringing in listeners to a brand new world of art.


21 year old Detroit performer/producer K.M.O is a sterling representation of this new breed of artist. Having success with his own work while building an expansive catalog of producer

credits, even picking up a few writing credits here and there. Pulling from inspirations like

Michael Jackson, Juice WRLD, Lil Uzi Vert, and Joji, K.M.O has cultivated a sound that is truly

his and truly unique. Whether you’re hearing his vocals over the beat or not, you know he had a hand in what you’re listening to.


Today we’re ironically examining a track produced by April Happened but K.M.O absolutely

owns the beat. Gliding all over it with smooth vocals and melodies that pull you into the air. The moment you hit the clouds and feel like you’re dreaming he slaps you awake with flow switches that only he could pull off. This creates a balance like no other, producing ups and downs through the track but keeping you engaged and your energy high all throughout.


The chorus presents a vibe perfectly fit for summer, exuberating confidence and optimism, while the verses add just the right amount of spice. The product is an impressive technical outing that doesn’t suffer because of it, much like the rest of his discography. Checkout K.M.O’s “Judo” out on all platforms now and be on the lookout for your favorite artists’ new song because he’ll be making their beats soon enough.
