Following two successful collaborative efforts alongside
fellow producer/rapper The Alchemist as the power duo Gangrene
-2010’s Gutter Water and 2012’s Vodka & Ayahuasca-
and the 2011 gem with The Alchemist as Gangrene & Roc Marciano, the
Greneberg EP; The Oxnard, California based beat-smith and emcee Oh No
returns for a solo mission.
Oh No (born
Michael Jackson; younger brother of Madlib and son of singer Otis
Jackson) was granted unprecedented access to the Rudy Ray Moore /
Dolemite audio archives and given free rein to slice, dice, chop and sample
his way through the classic-yet-absolutely-filthy catalog. He was able to use
legendary material from The Human Tornado, Petey Wheatstraw, the
Dolemite Soundtrack and more, plus a multitude of previously unreleased
and alternate acapellas and instrumentals. The end result is Ohnomite
(now available everywhere fine music is sold), a 19 track
head-banging extravaganza of sloppy funk, dirty soul, and brainy lyricism, all
aimed at one thing- making your head nod and your ass shake. And when you add to
that guests spots from the likes of Evidence, Phife Dawg, The Alchemist,
Erick Sermon, Rapper Pooh, MED, Guilty Simpson, Roc Marciano, Sticky
Fingaz, Chino XL, Roc C, Prozack Turner, Termanology, Frank Nitt and this
cut with MF Doom “3 Dollars.”
