What would rap be without The Guns? Though many would rather firearms didn't loom so large in hip-hop's visual and aesthetic lexicon, the bloody consequences of their prevalence in the inner-city streets makes them tough to ignore. On his latest album leak, and the 10th world premiere in The DJBooth and Event Electonics' 20/20 Music Series, Oh No tackles the“real-life horror” of gun violence head-on. Over his own diabolical boardwork, jam-packed with cap-busting sound effects and laced with classic vocal samples (from 2Pac's 3 Messages, Ice-T's Colors and other classics) the Oxnard, Cali rapper/producer is joined on the mic by three fellow underground spitters; Stone's Throw labelmate MED, St. Louis representer Pok Dog and Motown emcee Guilty Simpson lend their own aggressive lyrical stylings to the record's latter portion. Does this hard-hitting selection leave you craving more? Watch the Booth for further details on Oh No's yet-unscheduled Ohnomite LP, which has been in the works since '09.
