Of Unknown Origin

Reseña del editor The crew O.U.O is made up of the lyrical tag team of MC Pep and Dumi Right (also member of Zimbabwe Legit). Tag team because like veteran crews during the golden age of hip-hop they trade verses over top of hot tracks non-stop with flows, creativity and verbal dexterity. They craft their ill lyricism over crisp and bass heavy tracks crafted by up and coming producers like Kev Strange and German Producer H-Peh. The album also features production and a guest appearance by Cadence (Raw Produce), as well as Storm the Unpredictable and the world renowned poet Nikki Giovanni. The multi-faceted album takes listeners on a journey through the highs of uptempo grooves like "For the Love" and "I Rock" and then the captivating grind of tracks like "Yesterday" and "Came Too Far" which speak to the mind and soul and paint poignant pictures of struggle and perserverance. The diverse album is carefully woven together with a constant thread of ill rhymes and solid beats which permeate the entire record. Artista biografía Shadowy figures emerge from the subterranean depths of the hip-hop underground. No glitz, no glamour, no gimmicks - strictly catchy beats, rhymes and hooks. You can't escape the infectious tracks, and you can't front on the lyrical skills of this dynamic clique, delivered over a crisp and bottom heavy soundscape. These cats have honed their skills through relentless practice, performance and flawless execution. Dumi Right and Pep are O.U.O. (Of Unknown Origin), a pair of emcees who trace their lineage all the way back to Zimbabwe, where the two cousins began breaking and popping, before developing the rhyming skills that would carry them across oceans. Growing up, they drew on influences from the US and the UK, learning lessons from tapes of radio shows by the likes of Mr. Magic, Red Alert, Chuck Chillout and the UK's Tim Westwood; always dreaming of the day when they would play a role in the development of the music they loved. Now their music resonates from their home in the DC Metro area through Virginia, Maryland, Philly and out to the rest of the world, where O.U.O. is developing a reputation for making hot tracks, solid music and ripping down stages, wherever they perform. O.U.O recently released a four-song 12" vinyl single which rose to the #4 spot on national college and mixshow charts, setting the stage for their forthcoming full-length album. The album will showcase O.U.O. at their best, along with guests that include Storm the Unpredictable, Cadence of Raw Produce and renowned poet Nikki Giovanni. While many artists focus on notions of going "back in the day" to recapture the glory days of hip-hop, O.U.O. exemplifies how good music is made today. Instead of chasing a fleeting dream of how it was, they make music how it should be now.
