Watts "The Find"
(URCD174/URLP174) CD/DLP
"Ohmega
takes it back to when it was only about beats and rhymes, when
Jam Master Jay was more than a memory and the culture had harmony."
THE SOURCE
“The new Ohmega Watts record, The Find, is incredible, like
Curtis Mayfield as done by J5.”
PORTLAND MERCURY
"Creative is an understatement as Watts gives old-school
rap a new school, sample-heavy swagger"
GIANT
"Funky Soul and razor-sharp dance-floor cuts... this
is hip-hop that everyone - not just fans of the genre - can enjoy."
ROLLING STONE
"A passionate showcasing of the unfiltered, raw energy
that is thankfully on the up again in hip hop."
TRACE
"Full voltage"
UNDERCOVER
"A hugely solid record"
ELEMENTAL
"The Find bounces with limitless energy from start to
finish"
I-DJ
"One of the freshest talents to have emerged out of hip-hop's
leftfield in the last five years... The Find takes inspiration
from boom bap bad boys Pete Rock and DJ Premier, as well as Stereolab."
DAZED & CONFUSED
“This is body-rockin’ hip-hop at its best and
will likely be Ubiquity’s most worthwhile release this year.”
URB
"An exciting talent has been set loose"
CLASH
"Compared already to DU and J5, the quality here ensures
Watts may soon be deserving such lofty praise"
HIP-HOP CONNECTION
“If you spend your days reminiscing about the days when
fresh acts like Tribe, De La, Jeru, and The Roots ruled your speakers,
give this album a shot. Seems to be a sure one.”
MPH
"This release is not to be slept on if you truly love
hip-hop"
BEAUTIFUL DECAY
"Ohmega Watts has done everything right on his bouyant,
soulful debut"
BPM
"Head-nodding, club-thumping hip-hop with jazzy soul."
HOOTERS
“If you spend your days reminiscing about the days when
fresh acts like Tribe, De La, Jeru, and The Roots ruled your speakers,
give this album a shot. Seems to be a sure one.”
MPH
“An electrifying solo debut!”
REMIX
"Drops a laid-back vibe similar to tracks created by
musical masterminds like Common, Mos Def and Talib Kweli..."
CAMPUS CIRCLE
|
Huge 22 track album of energetic hip hop funk n’soul from
head turning MC and producer Ohmega Watts.
MC and producer Ohmega Watts makes organic and energetic hip hop,
funk and soul. It’s original, from the heart, straight no
chaser music. Offering both quantity and quality “The Find”
is 21 tracks deep and jumps from the laid-back sunshine styled “Where
It All Started” and soulful “Your Love” to the
turntable-bound rare groove-fueled breaks of “Move!”
Inspired as much by hip hop legends like Eric B & Rakim and
Premier as contemporary electronic producers like RJD2 and The Herbaliser,
“The Find” pushes industry-standard boundaries. Hailing
from Flatbush, Brooklyn, brought-up by Jamaican parents Milton Campbell
aka Ohmega Watts moved to Florida and now resides amidst a bustling
Portland, Oregon scene.
Nice organic buzz brewing on this album with pieces on the way in
mags ranging from Spin to Dazed and Confused to Billboard, Straight
No Chaser to XLR8R and many more. The first two singles sold out
- the last one has sold over 5K and continues to move. Watch for
the Fall tour to stop in a city near you.
