It Was Around The Age Of 11 When Making Beats Won Out Over Video Games To Become Oh No’s Most Obsessive Pastime. Over The Years As The Cali-Bred B-Boy Honed His Skills Of Rhyming And Producing It Became Obvious That – Like His Brother Madlib Iconic Hip-Hop Maestro His Father Otis Jackson Cult ’70s Soul Singer And His Uncle Jon Faddis Renowned Jazz Trumpeter – Oh No Would Go On To Pursue The Family Business Of Music. Oh No Debuted As A Producer And MC In His Own Right With The Disrupt His 2004 Full-Length On Stones Throw Records. With Recent Beat Production On The Albums Of Fellow Oxnard CA-Based MC's Wildchild MED Roc C And On Guilty Simpson's Upcoming 2007 Album Ode To The Ghetto Oh No Has Probably Logged More Beats On Stones Throw Releases Than Anyone Else Besides Madlib. In Recent Years Oh No Has Carved Out A Funky Style Related But Distinct To That Of His Famed Sibling As Magazines Like XXL The Source And URB Have All Attested. A Landmark Collaboration With Jazz/funk Legend David Matthews Arranger Behind Many Of James Brown’s Finest Albums At Last Year’s Red Bull Music Academy – Where Mr. Matthews Composed An Orchestral Piece Based On A Single Oh No Beat – Hinted At The Scope Of Things To Come From The Young Underground Impresario. The Hip-Hop World Can Now Witness Oh No’s Musical Vision With Exodus Into Unheard Rhythms A Unique Concept Album Made Of Beats Derived Solely From Galt MacDermot Samples. Known Primarily As The Composer Of The Late-’60s Smash Musical HAIR Galt MacDermot Distilled The Essence Of R&B Rhythms And Broadway Melodies Into A Unique And Potent Groove For The Age Of Aquarius. After His Breakthrough Hits From HAIR MacDermot Perfected His Sound Throughout The Following Decades On His Own Imprint Kilmarnock Records Backed By Longtime Collaborators Jazz/funk Drumming Legends Bernard Purdie And Idris Muhammad. MacDermot Offered Oh No Access To His Huge And Still Growing Catalog Of Music For His Work On Exodus. Once He Put His Own Sonic Stamp On The Composer’s Inimitable Material Oh No Pitched The 70-Plus Beats He Made To The MC's In His Network. A Formidable Cast Heeded His Call To Lyrically Bless – From Veterans Like De La Soul’s Posdnuos And DITC Legend A.G. To Current Indie Powerhouses Like Murs And Vast Aire. Longtime Oh No Comrades Like LMNO M.E.D. Aloe Blacc Wildchild And Dudley Perkins Do Their Parts While Appearances From Buckshot Of Black Moon And Wise Intelligent Of Poor Righteous Teachers Lend Additional Weight To The All-Star Cast. While He Only Touches The Mic On Three Tracks Here Oh No’s Production Efforts Alone Prove That He Is One Of Those Musical Mavericks Who – Like Galt – Hear The Unheard Rhythms First And Lead The Way For The Rest. In 2007 Oh No Followed Up His Exodus Into Unheard Rhythms With Dr. No's Oxperiment Followed By 2009's Dr. No's Ethiopium And Most Recently 2012's OhNoMite Which Is Scheduled To Be Released June 5 2012. read less
