Omni

L.A. underground MC Omni (aka the “California Child” or Omniprez) is at his teenagers when he initial began rapping within his staff, Gershwin B.L.X. (Bass Range Xcursionists). He was inspired by two main currents in Western world Coastline rap music, the hard-edged gangsta rap of Loss of life Row Information as well as the eclecticism of California’s substitute rap scene, especially from crews like Hieroglyphics and Freestyle Fellowship. But, his vocal screen of liquid and hard moves could be likened compared to that of Del tha Funkee Homosapien, indicating the last mentioned current being a much stronger impact. After Gershwin B.L.X. disbanded, he released his single debut, Funkdafied Freddy (2001), on Belgian-based label B9000 Information, but documented Burgundy Dark brown (2003) for his personal B.L.X. Information. The positive response from your second option album’s 12″ solitary, “American African” b/w “Equalize,” got him a cope with L.A. indie Ariel Information, who released Ballyhoo in 2006. Omni’s profile in L.A.’s hip-hop underground also stepped up a notch as he could secure guest places from Mikah 9 (of Freestyle Fellowship), Luckyiam.PSC (of Living Legends), and Fatlip (from the Pharcyde) for the album. Around the pumps of its beneficial reviews, Omni adopted with Batterie in 2007. Batterie was even more eclectic than his earlier efforts, offering Spanish flamenco music examples and components of garage area/grime-fused productions.
