Obi THG 07THE HEAROS 4 HIRE MIXTAPE IS A CD, PROFESSIONALLY PRODUCED, IN SHRINK WRAP,
NO BOOTLEGS. ALL OFFICIALFounded in 2004, Think Green Records is a home to some of the best up-and-coming hip-hop talent that Los Angeles has to offer. Established by veteran mc Kaliban & beatsmith DJ Obi, Think Green Records has grown to include other artists like Meyer Wolfsheim, Obvious, Avatar, Big Swish, and Oddio who are all brilliant producers in their own right. Each artist has a story to tell and a style all his own. When DJ Obi and Kaliban release their collaborations, they do so under the group name The Mint. The Mint’s sound is very hardcore with memorable melodies and inventive lyrics from Kaliban. Obi’s beats are strictly original and most current creations do not even contain samples. Known to flip MPCs, synthesizers, guitar, bass, and turntables, Obi has clearly mastered the art while remaining humble. South Central’s own Kaliban has been slaying mc’s for years in freestyle battles. Undoubtedly, his written material is equally as innovative. Kaliban’s energy, powerful voice, and confidence are unrivalled. Zombé Squad is a serious yet playful collaboration between West LA’s Meyer Wolfsheim and Long Beach’s Obvious. Their two styles are polar opposite yet they mesh with pure fluidity. Meyer Wolfsheim is an eccentric sort who plays with words and remembers to put the fun back into rap. Known for his crisp voice and imaginative metaphors, Obvious’s rymes are definitely his own. Oddio is a producer who is greatly influenced by Reggae and Dub and his hip-hop beats have that flavor to them. Also a talented artist, Oddio’s musical creations are often accompanied by large colorful canvases displaying abstract designs and characters. Avatar is Bay Area mc who now represents LA. Known for his clever wordplay and socially conscious lyrics, Av’s music definitely is thought provoking. He also is a talented producer and all around positive person. And last but certainly not least, Big Swish is a seasoned mc who has cultivated his own style over several years, earning the respect of anyone who hears his tremendous voice and cadence. Known for his love of jazz and infusion of this genre into his own productions, Big Swish can hold his own with the best of em. Together everyone is known collectively as the Heroes 4 Hire crew. Look out for upcoming albums and DJ Obi’s Heroes 4 Hire mix tape. Thanks for reading and don’t forget to visit www.thinkgreenrecords.com.
