Snafu

Cutting his teeth with The Northwest's Oldominion crew, this founding member of Oldominion and full time Portland, Oregon resident has gained all of his experience producing, engineering, songwriting, emceeing and touring the nation.This dependable, gifted utility player's production credits include some of Oldominion's most notable songs, but whether it be production, engineering or emceeing, his touch winds up on nearly every single song they record in one form or another. His engineering expertise is evident on nearly every song they've ever released and his attitude towards beat making is that of the veteran craftsman who refuses to release any flawed material.Ironically, Snafu's industry experience is only one piece of the puzzle that makes his music so habit forming. It's as much his lyrics and their interpretation of the less than glamorous struggle that the average rap listener is more likely to identify with than long to emulate. More inclined to write about his resentment of overpriced drinks and cover charges than spilling expensive champagne and getting in on the guest list, Snafu effortlessly glorifies the mundane day to day triumphs of life below the poverty line while contemporary rap has sped right past that reality for gaudy rhinestone doo rags and group-rate boob jobs.Taking into consideration all of the rappers making records today, Snafu may just possess the formula which best expresses the sentiments of the disenfranchised without ever RSVPing for the pity party...and who doesn't feel disenfranchised at one time or another? Hey, let Snafu tell it and you'll see that no matter how broke you are, it's still a party y'all.
