Oschino recounts his journey to getting signed by Jay-Z. Initially aiming to join Ruff Ryders, Oschino moved from Philly to New York in 1998 and toured with DMX during the Hard Knock Life Tour. Surrounded by rap legends like Jadakiss, he found himself drawn deeper into the industry. Oschino's big break came unexpectedly when two men approached him claiming to know Jay-Z, who was scouting for new talent. Skeptical but hopeful, Oschino took the chance. Presented with just five minutes to impress Jay-Z, he ended up rapping for two hours straight. His relentless passion and skill caught Jay-Z's attention, leading to a signing that shifted Oschino's life trajectory.
