Ohmega Watts US Tour + February Dates w/ Galactic

 

While the eclecticism of his debut album The Find won him many fans, Watts Happening pushes the envelope to reveal even more about MC/producer Ohmega Watts. The record includes collaborations with lauded MC/producer Jneiro Jarel (Shape Of Broad Minds), up n’coming Brazilian vocalist Tita Lima, Bay Area blues n’funkstress (and one of James Brown’s favorite female vocalists) Sugarpie Desanto, and label mate Shawn Lee.

RECENT PRESS FOR WATTS HAPPENING:

"Ohmega Watts makes the kind of progressive, next-level hip-hop usually associated with London or Paris…'I ignite change with a stroke of my pen,' he rhymes, yet he also does it musically, with some of the phattest, most vibrantly soulful beats heard in quite a while. Whether flipping funky flavors with R&B legend Sugar Pie DeSanto or enlisting Brazilian vocalist Tita Lima for a tropical throw-down, Ohmega gives you plenty of reasons to turn him up even louder."
XLR8R

"In a struggling indie hip-hop market, Watts is a breath of fresh air, dropping enough thoughtful rhymes and quality productions to keep heads satiated until the next go-round."
eMUSIC

"Ohmega Watts isn't an angry or bitter man, and this is evident in his music, it makes Watts Happening just as intelligent, well-crafted, and interesting as its creator."
All Music

"Watts reaches deeper into his crate of varied influences to come up with an expansive mix of sounds and styles that spins off into slow-strutting funk decrees, a batch of meaty Brazilian grooves and a healthy base of global percussive rhythms … Simply put, these are the musings of an artist that finds diversity as natural as the morning sunrise."
Exlaim! (Canada)
