Growing up in the turmoil of Mongolia’s new democracy, Odbayar, artist name “AKA ODKO” discovered hip hop as his country opened up to Western culture. He soon co-founded “The Crew”, Mongolia’s one of first hip-hop groups along with other Mongolian well known artists such as Quiza, B.A.T, Bold and Mono. Their message was strong, but their popularity was limited. Odko stands out in the country's hip hop scene as a politically conscious rapper and with his lyrics about equality. He is keen to incorporate traditional music into his rap and create a sound that really reflects his country. Odko hopes it will help awaken the conscience of the next generation and help them appreciate the country's proud history.
