Release #200 for Ubiquity Records is a family affair featuring Ohmega Watts and a remix by Waajeed of PPP*. “No
Delay” is driven by a nasty bass-line deep into DJ-friendly
head-nodding hip hop territory. Ohmega Watts is joined on the mic by
Surreal, the new MC for the Sound Providers (ABB), who hails from
Florida. Surreal also appeared on “Saturday Night Live” from Ohmega
Watts “The Find” album.
“Saywhayusay”
is a signature Ohmega Watts instrumental club jam. Starting off with a
rough old-school hip hop beat, the mood soon changes with the
introduction of a Brazilian Batucada rhythm. Adding to the carnival
time pressure is Todd Simon (of Breakestra and Antibalas fame) who
beefs up the track with ballistic horn riffs.
On
the flip Waajeed from PPP takes “The Find”, the title track from the
Ohmega Watts debut album, and moulds it into mid-tempo club track
complete with big bass-line and shiney horns. An instrumental of the
mix is included for all Bling 47 beat fiends.
*PPP
is the band formerly known as Platinum Pied Pipers. Due to legal
pressure from a vocal group called The Pied Pipers they have had to
change their name.
