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 cofounded “The Crew”, Mongolia’s one of the first hip hop groups along with other rappers such as Quiza , B.A.T , Boldoo and Moonoo. Aka Odko stands out in the country's hip hop scene as a politically conscious rapper and with his lyrics. 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 countrys proud history.   Awards: 2007 Recipient of UBS Mongolian Music Awards for the Best Concept nomination 2007 Nominee for Best Hop Hip Artist of UBS Mongolian Music Awards 2007 Nominee for Best Debut Artist of UBS Mongolian Music Awards   Discography: 2008 - Pessimist to Optimist Debut Album 2009 - Mongolian Rap Album (featured with Rokit Bay, Seriouz, Seryoja, Click Click Boom, Big Gee, Altan Urag, Poc Dawone) 2010 - Amar Baina Uu? collaboration with Opozit 2011 - Underground Years (2002 - 2008) [Instrumental Album]   Appearances: 2003 En Route and the Crew 2004 Khemnel ba Khelleg album by B.A.T 2005 Chapter II album by B.A.T 2006 Taavar Met album by Quiza 2007 Hiimoriin San album by Quiza 2008 I Love New UB album by Quiza 2008 Hop Hop is my life album by Tazo 2011 3rd Year of Microphone Era album by Opozit
