If you are at all a fan of hip hop, rap, or r&b party music, you absolutely need to check out this new record produced by local Dexter O’Neal. Many of you may know Dexter as the gifted entertainer and crooner of R&B and Jazz. In this setting, Dex is at the controls, arranging, engineering, and co-producing an impressive debut of 9 different local artists (including a great song of his own..)
This mix record is a party with a conscience, inspired by the award-winning stage play. On this CD, you’ll find several different styles all fused together with thematic lyrics and smart production that blends the modern sounds found on the radio today with occasional hints of motown and blue note.
Hop over to their page on cdbaby to sample some tracks. My favorite track is ‘OK’ by Kendall Anders, who proves here to be an exceptionally talented vocalist as well as a great songwriter. Everyone has their own voice on here though, so check it all out.
