Omen - Delayed (Mixtape Sampler)




Everyone, the sampler is finally here. 11 songs that fully showcase my writing, production and overall approach to music. I really want you to digest it and listen and hopefully feel something afterwards. It's been a long time coming, and the mixtape is on the way shortly after this. Thank you for riding with me.

What up people, just wanna let you know, the preview/teaser to the mixtape is coming this Tuesday. It should be about 10 songs, but I'm still recording so we'll see. A large portion of the teaser is produced by me, just as the mixtape will be. Hopefully you enjoy it and are inspired by the work. I believe you will be. Thanks for supporting and coming by the blog. I APPRECIATE IT.

Minimalist Furniture

Don't worry, Dopart isn't turning into another imitation of Kanye's blog like so many others. But, I think this furniture is dope. I need that bed in my life.

Just want to take this moment, to say Congratulations to Erro (Eric Roberson) on his Grammy nomination, for his song "Tale of Two." It's definitely well deserved brother. I wish you much success.

Mixtape Status...

If you've been following me on twitter, you already know this. (If you aren't following me, sign off)

My upcoming project, Afraid of Heights is going to come out in February now. It's technically done, but I'm perfecting it just a bit more so I love it. That's important to me. However, for those of you who instantly got angry at this news, I will be releasing a sampler/teaser/whateverucallit in about two weeks, called Delayed. This sampler actually will make the concept behind the mixtape, even iller. So, I can't wait for you to hear it, listen to it, digest it, critique it...love it. Delayed will be no less than 10 songs, so its definitely enough to give a taste to what's coming. Thank you for riding with me as always...see you soon.

In this work from Jerm IX, he flips the classic phrase. I'm not repeating what the phrase is, you should know it, if you don't sign off.

Vinyl Art | Daniel Edlen

This starts off a little slow, but its definitely worth the watch. He's got some dope work he's creating with vinyl records.

Nas & Michael Rappaport Creating Documentary | A Tribe Called Quest

Photobucket

"I think this is gonna be the first motion picture, documentary done on a hip-hop group, which is an honor,” he said. “…Nas spoke to me a while ago and was like, “I want to shoot a documentary on you dudes.” Michael Rapaport saw us perform in LA and said the same thing, so they combined forces. They basically are shooting it. They got backstage footage. They got old archive stuff. They’ve been interviewing everybody.It’s weird cause they got everybody from [Jonah Hill] to Ghostface, he continued. It’s interesting. It’s gonna be their take or whatever. And there’s a part in the film where they follow Phife into a surgery for his kidney transplant. So, it’s a deep movie."




"In a recent interview with Soul Assassins radio on Shade 45, Rapaport gave an update on the film. “I’m finishing up this documentary about A Tribe Called Quest that I been directing,” he said. “It’s a rock and roll style documentary which is about Tribe which is one of my favorite groups. It’s been fun and hopefully we’ll have it done and ready for 2010."


As of press time there is no set date or title for the film. —Elan Mancini (via XXLmag.com)
