P.SO the Earth Tone King

Discontent with merely creating the hip-hop flavor of the month, P.SO The Earth Tone King’s latest creative undertaking is designed to stand the test of time- no matter what cruel fate may fall to planet Earth in the near future.

Nearly two years in the making, The Gateway to Greatness is P.SO’s otherworldly album & graphic novel combo designed to give fans a completely original experience.

After taking a musical hiatus to refuel creative juices, the Buffalo, NY emcee recognized multiple divisions within the rap genre and immediately recognized an opportunity to craft a truly cohesive project that blends different styles into one focused sound.

“There are so many “pockets” and styles of rap its difficult for some fans to relate to some of the emerging sub-genres. I designed Gateway to bridge these gaps,” says P.SO.

Aiming to deliver a substantial contribution to the culture, The Gateway to Greatness includes such standout tracks as the popular “Find Out”, the self-produced, hard-hitting “Black Holes”, and the airy, ethereal “Floating” featuring Denitia Odigie.

“I want fans to think of Gateway as an experience, not just an album,” P.SO explains. “When you add the graphic novel and the eventual set of videos, there will be a lot of content to consume.”

That graphic novel P.SO speaks of is the 45-page collaboration with talented illustrator Anway Morse that coincides with the tracks on the album. The first chapter will be available in the digital booklet of The Gateway to Greatness.

Set in an alternative New York setting, the story centers around a starving comic book artist who discovers elements of the supernatural that ultimately turn his world upside down. Featuring both color illustrations as well as black and white graphics, the novel uniquely alternates color palettes as the protagonist enters the two different worlds.

P.SO’s intentions are to appeal to all types of fans, even those not familiar with comic book fiction. In fact, the technologically savvy Earth Tone King’s latest work could serve as a prized archeological discovery should the planet face an untimely Armageddon.

“I became a little disappointed and disinterested with the music scene,” P.SO admits. “I knew that if I was going to continue as an artist, I had to do something special, something epic. “I didn’t want to just paint a picture; I want to build a museum.”
