are
MEGAPHONE
Recall Hip Hop duo juggernauts like Eric B. and Rakim, Pete Rock
and CL Smooth, and DJ Premier and Guru. These classic collabos
achieved a level of quality coolness and cohesiveness that has almost disappeared from Hip Hop. Nowadays, Hip Hop artists are opting for one
beat or a single track from any one producer and the record sounds, well,
like everybody else’s record. Hip Hop producers are central but once in
a great while, individual talents combine and the whole game gets flipped.
This rarity is the influence behind Megaphone...a welcome return to
the producer + emcee combination and it brings back two former
members of the group Mission: (now known as Crown City Rockers).
Headnodic’s buttery fresh pound-for-pound heavyweight sound
production is matched with and underlines Moe Pope’s
revolutionary-punk-rock-on-static vocals and so the latest Hip Hop
producer + emcee duo emerges as Megaphone. NatAural High Records
brings you the latest and rawest teamups yet which can best be described
with two words combined...Danger Danger!

SPEAR OF THE NATION
SPEARITALK
Available Now!
"You know what time is it?" The Future... The Present... The Past.
Time for all areas to time travel. But keep your shoes on ’cuz this is
hip hop so we movin’ the crowd. Continuing to build on the foundation
of Oakland’s hip hop trinity Lunar Heights, emcee Spear of the Nation
has conceptualized a solo hip hop album for the mind, body and spirit
entitled Spearitalk. Where does this educator, foot soldier, and rap
tycoon want to go? Masterminds Aristotle the Great and DJ Icewater
have mapped it out. Spearitalk is releasing on NatAural High Records
and on a fateful day in history. Bay Area producer Aristotle the Great
aka Aries coined it "Boom Slap" and further blessed the track Brutha
From Anutha Planet by unleashing his vocals. Call it the future.
Whatever it is, there’s no stopping it when this camp is making
moves in the present by calling on WuTang Clan’s Tekitha to spit time
in her rhymes on the track Stand. Then taking it back to ’96 with
Lift Up, Pedro Bass pays homage to the past and fellow IV My People
producer Fko of Grenoble is ever present with Private Dancer.
Spear of the Nation is steady doing the works on all eye-levels.
Vibratin’ on location fo’sho. In the trunk. In the club. In the soul.
All for you.

OMNI’s "Batterie" was heard on
Friday Night Lights
episode 212 that aired Jan 18th.
The scene was a fist fight living room brawl implying the song was construed as Assault and "Batterie". That’s okay. Thanks for the love NBC :)
OMNI
BATTERIE
Available Now!
Conceived and recorded in Australia in collaboration with the producers and emcees of Oz’s mighty Obese Records crew, Batterie carries the sould and vibrations of the many countries Omni has passed through in his accomplished career. Chest-caving drums and twinkling cowbells drive We Are All We Have as Omni shouts out Brazil, Dublin and Lebanon with help from Australian rap giants the Hilltop Hoods. Flamenco guitars and gypsy violins weave through handclaps and chants on Bang the Drum. Dancehall kicks and blips meet jungle bass as Omni cajoles a female on Crazy in Love. And last but never least, West Coast vet Aceyalone drops in to rep Cali righteously on the drowsy jazz creep of Golden.
Omni epitomizes his namesake throughout Batterie, switching speeds, moods and approaches with every song, and maintains his focus on what’s universal: emotions, relationships, love, and spirit. Batterie is a musical bridge between urban and tribal, a unifying statement for the young generations of our world, and a jolt of crystallized hip-hop in its purest form.
The time has arrived. This will be the album of 2007. You heard it here first. Buy now at:
