"Ohmega Watts causes some ruckus in an elementary school on his latest video, for 'Eyes and Ears', off his new album, Watts Happening. The Portland-based MC, producer, and longtime member of the Ubiquity roster disrupts the studious endeavors of many an elementary-school kid, and led by three dudes with cardboard eyes and ears, proceeds to usher everyone into a talent show. His chorus 'You can do it, you can do it' is weirdly reminiscent of those inspirational posters that used to hang on the walls of your third-grade classroom. Too bad we didn't have anything as cool as multi-talented hip-hop artists dropping by to teach us b-boy moves back then."

This digital-only single features Ohmega Watts teaming up with Lex Records recording artist Jneiro Jarel (Shape Of Broad Minds) and see’s their “Eyes and Ears” collab get an exclusive remix by Clutchy Hopkins. Also included is an instrumental version of the mix, and a 10+ minute live performance with Ohmega Watts and DJ Bombay ripping things up for WUAG in North Carolina.
The release of this digi-single is timed with the release of a video for “Eyes and Ears” which features Watts in back to school mode!
Clutchy Hopkins completely switches up the track to his style – it’s laid back but nasty, with live keys and a koto adding a nice twist to the original vibe. The instrumental sounds like pure Clutchy! On the live medley Watts rapidly makes his way though many tracks from his back catalog, assisted by the manic turntablism of DJ Bombay. This improvised live session was recorded on the spot at WUAG radio in North Carolina.
