Omar Musa- The Massive EP

Sharp and poetic, Australian hip-hop has a confident new voice. Omar Musa, 2008 Australian Poetry Slam champion, releases his debut The Massive EP. From his poignant thoughts on big city life in âHemingwayâ to the languid summer jam âOpalâ, The Massive EP marries hip-hop, rock and funk. After winning the Triple J sponsored Realise Your Dream competition, he relocated to London to work in the music industry, collaborate with British rappers such as grime star Akala, and pen the beginnings of his debut EP. âIt is a strange animal of an album,â says Musa. âWritten in London, recorded in the States, rapped by a Malaysian-Australian, I feel like it definitely has an original vibe.â The EP was produced entirely by rock veteran Geoff Stanfield, formerly of well known US alternative bands Sun Kil Moon and Black Lab. Of working with Stanfield, Musa says âI finally felt as if I had found the perfect sounds to compliment my lyrics.â With a big voice, big beats and poetic vignettes based on the life of a Queanbeyan native abroad, this truly is The Massive EP.
