OH NO – OHNOMITE(Tracklist + Leak)

May 8, 2012 by socal  
Filed under Album Reviews, Art, Downloads, Music

Following two successful collaborative efforts alongside fellow producer/rapper The Alchemist as the power duo Gangrene -2010’s Gutter Water and 2012’s Vodka & Ayahuasca- and the 2011 gem with The Alchemist as Gangrene & Roc Marciano, the Greneberg EP; The Oxnard, California based beat-smith and emcee Oh No returns for a solo mission.

Oh No (born Michael Jackson; younger brother of Madlib and son of singer Otis Jackson) was granted unprecedented access to the Rudy Ray Moore / Dolemite audio archives and given free rein to slice, dice, chop and sample his way through the classic-yet-absolutely-filthy catalog. He was able to use legendary material from The Human Tornado, Petey Wheatstraw, the Dolemite Soundtrack and more, plus a multitude of previously unreleased and alternate acapellas and instrumentals. The end result is Ohnomite, a 19 track head-banging extravaganza of sloppy funk, dirty soul, and brainy lyricism, all aimed at one thing- making your head nod and your ass shake. And when you add to that guests spots from the likes of MF Doom, Evidence, Phife Dawg, The Alchemist, Erick Sermon, Rapper Pooh, MED, Guilty Simpson, Roc Marciano, Sticky Fingaz, Chino XL, Roc C, Prozack Turner, Termanology, Frank Nitt and more, and you are left with a one of a kind album from a one of a kind musician. Ohnomite- 19 songs of pure whoop ass from Oh No and Dolemite!

The First leak from Ohnomite “Whoop Ass” ft. Sticky Fingaz is available here

First leak from DJ Green Lantern Presents Mike Bhaiya: “The Universe Is Dreaming Vol. 1”

After honing his craft opening up for the likes of Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, Zion I, Cormega, Nature and Aloe Blacc, Mike Bhaiya (pronounced “bye-uh”) linked up with the infamous DJ Green Lantern to create his debut mixtape “The Universe Is Dreaming Vol. 1.”
The musical landscape of “The Universe Is Dreaming Vol. 1” is brought to life by the soul bearing, sharply clever and poetic lyrics of a young man whose love, energy, and determination to better the world around him are so immense, that he is simply known as “Brother” across the globe. Since he first touched the mic, Bhaiya has blossomed into an MC known for melding searing wit, poetic and lyrical genius, and an infectious and at times ferocious intensity, with his infinite love for humanity and Life. “The Universe Is Dreaming Vol. 1” is the first chapter in the musical legacy of a man who has devoted his existence to the uniting of the human race with each other, and the rest of the Universe.

Ta’East: The “Popular Stranger”

November 21, 2009 by socal  
Filed under Album Reviews

TA'EASTTa’East was born Aaron Ta’East Evans, July 20th 1986 in Russellville, Kentucky. After being abandoned by his father at nine months, his mother moved him along with his two older siblings to Southern California at the age of two. Being raised in a single parent household and moving back and forth from Kentucky to California, Ta’East grew up a leader and trendsetter as an imaginative child. After finding an interest in art at a young age, he discovered his creative skills and a love for drawing. It didn’t take long for him to develop a passion for music. Growing up listening to artists such as Michael Jackson, The Fugees, 8 Ball & MJG, UGK, Timbaland, Jay-Z, and The Notorious B.I.G., he memorized every lyric from top to bottom learning his delivery as an artist.

At the age of thirteen after taking a trip back to his hometown, Ta’East was convinced to rap for his uncle Delano “ACE” Boyd, who was a local producer in Kentucky. While Ta’East originally wanted to produce hip-hop and R&B instrumentals, he quickly discovered his talent as a hip-hop artist. At the age of sixteen, he met My House Productions founder Brian Marrow through a mutual friend, who he began making music with. By the age nineteen he began working closely with local San Diego producers and close friends Mark “Chicago” Beard and Cairo McGee. Later, Ta’East started his own brand of music creating Impeccable Entertainment. His leadership skills took effect when he created a team of artists and producers under his label including local artists Young Lyxx and Cairo.

Today he is currently becoming one of the top artists in San Diego County. With creative concepts and an undeniable voice, he has a niche that HIP HOP NEEDS. Ta’East is a highly motivated individual with the ambition, drive and hunger to succeed in the music industry as a major recording artist. Although he is money motivated, his strive for success is influenced solely by his love of music. Ta’East feels that he is hip-hop at its purest. While using slick rhymes, clever wordplay, and truth behind every line, he embodies every requirement for crossover success with his brand of music. By building a fan base with relatable topics and hypnotic choruses, he is more than ready to become a factor in the music industry.

A07 Blueprint’s the Blueprint 3 Album

September 10, 2009 by socal  
Filed under Album Reviews

If you aren’t up on current events, Jay-Z, “Blueprint III” which was scheduled to be released September 11, was pushed to release in stores Tuesday. We at A07, thanks to a few industry connects were fortunate enough to have a copy weeks before the store release. After general analysis and other worldwide opinions we have to say that we personally disagree with the mainstream consensus and critiquing of Hov’s 11th album.

For starters Jay’s been cited for being a little too experimental. Hard to understand in a industry where change is ever so steadily. Yesterday’s trend is tomorrows fad so to not try new sounds or do something outside of ones self norm is a sign tunnel vision and can have you ended up being called one dimensional. Jay addresses this issue in “On To The Next One” by letting us know, “If you wanna hear the old me// then buy my old shit!” However, he still managed to hit us with that vintage victory style music in tracks like, “Real As It Gets” feat. Young Jeezy and “Empire State of Mind” with Songstress Alicia Keys. Both tracks will make anyone feel like their bigger than they are. Production is pretty well rounded too.

One thing you’ll notice is Hov’s continuous reminder to all those who oppose his lyricism, maturity, longevity, and success. You call em old, he calls it grown man shit. After all, who got cats to step they button-up game up? Consistency is a big issue in Hip-Hop, and to think a new artist in today’s industry has 10 albums in em’, is pretty far fetched. The underlying message in BP3 to opposition is to fall back if you haven’t accomplished a piece of what I have. In “Thank You” he spits, “I was goin’ kill a couple rappers//but they did it to themselves//I was goin kill em’ with the flow//but they did it with they sales,” in reference to a platinum record coming every blue moon.

One of our favorite things about BP3 is Hov’s collaborations. He reached out to some of the newest fresh talent along with his usual’s. Look for fresh faces such as Drake, J.Cole, and Kid Cudi mixed with some of the games most established like Young Jeezy and Kanye West. Kanye also contributed to production with other Jay usuals like Pharrell, Swiss Beats, Timbland and more. Bottom line, Hov hasn’t lost a step, instead he’s proven that he can once again separate himself from the norm that is Hip-Hop.
