| Ohmega Watts US Tour While the eclecticism of his debut album The Find won him many fans, Watts Happening pushes the envelope to reveal even more about MC/producer Ohmega Watts. The record includes collaborations with lauded MC/producer Jneiro Jarel (Shape Of Broad Minds), up n'coming Brazilian vocalist Tita Lima, Bay Area blues n'funkstress (and one of James Brown's favorite female vocalists) Sugarpie Desanto, and label mate Shawn Lee. “Ohmega Watts makes the kind of progressive, next-level hip-hop usually associated with London or Paris...'I ignite change with a stroke of my pen,' he rhymes, yet he also does it musically, with some of the phattest, most vibrantly soulful beats heard in quite a while. Whether flipping funky flavors with R&B legend Sugar Pie DeSanto or enlisting Brazilian vocalist Tita Lima for a tropical throw-down, Ohmega gives you plenty of reasons to turn him up even louder.” - XLR8R “In a struggling indie hip-hop market, Watts is a breath of fresh air, dropping enough thoughtful rhymes and quality productions to keep heads satiated until the next go-round.” - eMUSIC write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
