Oppo is both a rapper and producer from the Philadelphia area. On July 24th, 2011 while living in Hawaii, he was on his way back from a show when the car he was in was hit dead-on by a drunk driver. Even though he was in the back seat, he fractured his skull, broke his neck, broke some ribs and fractured a hip. He is now in a powered wheelchair, paralyzed from the chest down and has no use of his hands or fingers. He still manages to produce new beats with an iPad using the Beatmaker 2 app with a stylus strapped to his hand. All of his music is produced, recorded and mixed by himself. His partner in rhyme and one of his caretakers, Jonny Chronic, is also a rapper. The duo plans on releasing their first mixtape sometime this spring of 2014.
