Being both DJ and MC is no sweat for Ohmega Watts
Posted by The Vera Project
It was hot and humid this afternoon at the Esurance stage, but being both the DJ and the MC was no sweat for Ohmega Watts with the help of fellow Portland rapper Braille. Ohmega Watts (Milton Campbell) is a 28 year old writer and producer who was born in New York and now hails from Portland, Oregon by way of Florida.
Granted, the show would have been more entertaining had there been more people on stage to help out (a hype man perhaps?), but Ohmega Watts' beats and delivery were dead on. He and Braille performed songs from Ohmega's 2005 album "The Find" as well as some brand new material, still in raw form. I enjoyed the song "Model Citizen" that is going to be on the new album "Watts Happening" which is slated to drop in October. I'll definitely be looking for that when it comes out.
This video will give you an idea of the difficulties posed by being both the DJ and the MC at your show.
