KALO – what a name – where did it come from? Raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin during a time when there were more shootings than the notorious gang-city of Compton, California, Korbey White preferred a low-profile. So much so, that those who knew him called him “Low-K”. Now, “Kalo,” with three albums to his credit, takes on the limelight with a graceful modesty.
Since releasing his first album “How Lo Can U Go” in 2001, the 26-year-old Kalo has shared the stage with regional and national artists including Young Bloodz, Dead Prez, Rob DZ, Bone Thugs N Harmony, DLO, F. Stokes and most recently Snoop Dogg and T.I. Kalo’s second and third albums “Omen” and “He Cold” respectively, have received air time on radio stations in both Milwaukee and Madison as well as college radio throughout the MidWest. In all, the first three albums sold over 4,200 units.
“Kalo can rock a raucous stage show commanding the attention of his fans just like the blast-masters of old”
- Jesse Spohn of Broadjam
Musically, Kalo’s style is a fusion of aggressive West-Coast rap and the rapid-fire flow of the MidWest. With the Compton area as his birthplace, Kalo has been influenced by Compton hip-hop legends N.W.A, DJ Quick and MC Eiht. Kalo’s sound has tones similar to E-40, Kanye West and T.I.
