Hip-Hop people (music lovers period) you have to check out this album!!!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

A long time collaborator of Aesop Rock has come out with his fist solo album!

It turns out that a guy who has produced songs that I have put on mix-tapes for several years is a student in my Grad School program. His stuff is insanely good! Please check out this album "the LoFi Chronicles"

iTunes has it as well!

1. I'm going to aggressively kick this

This is an independent musician who is putting everything out there for the love of music.

[ghostsofgiants]

2. Aesop Rock collaborator? Nice!

I'll have to check it out.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

3. They have been friends for years and he's produced at least 1 track

of every one of Aesop's albums.

Plus he did the cover art for Aesop's "Labor Days"



I'm blessed to be in Grad School with this talented guy. And he's just a great person - and VERY liberal.

[ghostsofgiants]

4. Awesome

Which songs did he produce on Labor Days? That'd probably be my favourite album from Aesop.

5. Coma

Omega One (or Owen as I know him) is the real deal. I was at the CD release - it was PHENOMENAL!

And he still is trying to be a visual artist at the same time - succesfully at that. He's an incredible guy!

[ghostsofgiants]

6. That is seriously cool...

And I love that beat. Real laid back, yet stil a head nodder.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

7. That's how he does it.

His visual artwork is very tight as well!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

8. Kick for Omega One!

30. Good to know.

It's just that when a hip-hop bashing thread (i.e., Kevin Federline = Mos Def) breaks out, there's only one or two of us there to defend the genre. :)
