As Geo started making moves as an emcee, he linked up with Sabzi, a budding producer at the University of Seattle. Both were unknowns and building in their bedrooms; they decided to work on a few songs and leak them out to friends, family, and homies from around the way. Soon after working in the lab the duo had their first show in 2002, opening for Chicago’s super group the Typical Cats. From being the opening act at a show of 20 people in Seattle, to being the opening act for Kanye West and rocking a crowd of 27,000, Geo has definitely been making moves from his humble beginning in the Islands.

Recently, the pair signed a distribution and marketing deal with Duck Down Records. Duck Down is based out of Brooklyn, New York, and owned by Big Dru Ha and Buckshot. Duck Down established themselves as major players in hip-hop housing four of the grittiest and creative groups of the late nineties– OGC, Heltah Skeltah, Smif-N-Wessun, and Black Moon. With island roots, Northwest branches, and now East Coast leaves, Geo plans to plant the world with that 808 love.
