PRESSED ON GOLD WITH RED SWIRL COLORED VINYL LIMITED TO 150 COPIES Oh No helped shape the texture of modern independent hip-hop, introducing the world to his turbulent lyricism with the 2004 Stones Throw classic The Disrupt before establishing himself as one of the world’s most dynamic beat architects. Ranging from soulful to sinister, hypnotic to chaotic, Dr. No's psychedelic production has become a vital force in hip-hop, while his acclaimed sample-themed instrumental collections have mined Mediterranean psyche funk, the work of jazz icon Roy Ayers, Italian library music, rare Ethiopian grooves, and more. Now, the renowned California artist is back with Nodega, his first vocal album in more than a decade. Conceptualized as a corner store where microphone assassins stop through to lay down their street tales, the project finds Oh No cooking up a fresh batch of wild creations as the drama unfolds. While contributing a handful of memorable verses himself, Oh No mostly focuses on crafting soundscapes for a staggering array of guests, including Logic, Ghostface Killah, Talib Kweli, Tha God Fahim, Alchemist, Guilty Simpson, Blu, CRIMEAPPLE, Rah Digga, Esoteric, Vic Spencer, Wildchild, Tash, and more. This concept is brought to life by music Oh No describes as a "cinematic landscape ranging from dark stabbing pianos to melodic jazz interludes, raw gutter loops to funk grit, dirty synths to nighttime thrills." A visceral experience elevated by immense collective talent, Nodega is a compelling one-stop shop for Oh No's expansive artistry. Tracklist: 1. Broken Radio Intro2. No's One Stop (feat. DJ Romes)3.
