It has been one week to date since a path of sonic destruction was unleashed on streaming services worldwide. Three words; Deadly Night Shade. Emcee and hip-hop producer oBleak hopped out the casket swinging with this debut LP release.

After one play through, I can already tell you that this record is a pure sonic journey. Introducing the listener to concepts of story telling mixed with horror culture and a 90s hip-hop sound that brings it back to a different time.

With tracks like, Abbott and Costello Meet oBleak. Taking a spin on the early 1900s comedy/horror duo. While combining hard hitting percussion with witty pop culture references and visceral turntable scratching.

Tracks like this left me with a lasting impression of this emerging artist. The concept is so unique and new, yet nostalgic all the same.

It doesn’t even end with this nine song album though, oBleak has been steadily releasing music videos in support of the new release; partnering with renowned Chicago director and videographer Akash Hans.

I found each video I watched to be a monster of its own, no pun intended; With vibrant special effects visuals and unique characters pertaining to the concept of each track.

When I listened to the album I understood the vision being portrayed but these new music videos really took the listener experience to the next level. You can appreciate the attention to detail.

Deadly Night Shade is out now, everywhere Music is streaming with music videos on Itunes and the oBleak Vevo YouTube.

Published

WeslyNorth

WeslyNorth was born in Salisbury, MD on the 3rd of December in 1988 as William Hudgins Named after his father, who was an army vet and later became a local DJ. William was raised in the church, as his mother is a devout Jehovah Witness who sung in the choir regularly.

Born into a musically inclined household, WeslyNorth developed a love for the art at a young age. At the age of 18, WeslyNorth started a collective of artists and musicians in DC called The New Hippie Nation. The collective grew into something that still thrives in DC where most know him as Willy Wesly.

His creative process consists mainly of views that allow his writing to flow. Bright rooms with windows, pops of vibrant color and tea with honey help him focus on curating the songs he’s known for, but don’t box him in. His style is eclectic as he pulls from artist inspiration he’s heard his entire life. Growing up listening to music from Fred Hammond, OutKast, De La Soul, J Dilla, Slum Village and Nate Dogg. Artists like James Fauntleroy, Jon Bellion, beaux nox, aldae, Isaiah Huron, Dijon and Sunsetto are just a few of the many he aspires to today.

His new album is titled “I take it back. An apology to those he has not shown his best to. It is a hopeful reverse of bad karma for anything negative he’s done or said. He sees this album as a way to say, “If I’ve ever hurt you or hurt myself..I take it back, maybe I meant it in the moment but I take it all back now.”

The album is a mix of melodic soul pieces that feature stadium sounds and choir harmonies. It is a cinematic, feel good, road trip, morning mood type of vibe that we cannot wait to hear.
