NEW MUSIC: Oh No - Lava Lamps [Instrumental hip-hop]
Oh No takes on Now Again's extensive library of obscure music to make beats like only he can (audio)
Oh No continues to show off how he's force to be reckoned with (check out this year's Ultimate Breaks & Beats album for proof of that), even if he doesn't get the amount of praise that his older brother Madlib gets. Take this track, "Lava Lamps" from his upcoming album for Now Again Records, a track that may only clock in at about a minute and half, but has so much groove and punch that it'll have you coming back for more. The drums definitely are the driving force behind the song, with particular knock and snap with kick and snare respectively, all the while riding perfectly a long with the Stark Reality sample. Where the track truly shines is when the sample and the drums meet up together and really give this track a little extra punch for your listening pleasure. In short, if this is the kinda stuff that Oh No has in store for us with his Oh No Vs. Now Again 3 album, I'll definitely be check this one out.
Oh No Vs. Now Again 3 is available now and can be picked up over at Rappcats! Quick heads up though: very limited quantities of vinyl only!
I like this one! Added it to my watch list!
you can really hear the Lib influence on this one
Must be in the Jackson genes. Though for me personally, I always found that Oh No's approach was a bit more straight forward where Madlib's stuff was always a bit more heady. Definitely a fan of them both for sure.
