OMID - Monolith [2003]

OMID - Monolith (Mush) Comentários: Omid raises the standard on producer-driven hip hop albums with “Monolith”, a project that rests in concept between his celestial recordings’ smash “beneath the surface” and 2002’s stellar “distant drummer”. Equally split between densely layered instrumental pieces and standout vocal tracks, “Monolith” features some of the world’s most important emcees rhyming over Omid’s beautifully crafted, middle eastern tinged productions: Buck 65, Abstract Rude, 2Mex, Spoon (of Iodine), Luckyiam.psc. Slug, Aceyalone, and Murs all give noteworthy performances. Two standout tracks are by Hymnal. With the hugely influential “Beneath the Surface” album and production for Freestyle Fellowship to his credit, omid continues to enhance his reputation as one of LA’s most respected producers, here delivering one of the most developed, out-there Hip Hop albums of the year.
