Artist: Omnietc
Album: Gavrille
Articulation: King Acklin
Omnietc (Spoken as Omni Etcetera) is here with his latest project entitled, Gavrille. It’s a short 7 track effort that includes an Interlude, so technically Omni is hitting us with a 6 pack of actual songs. Omni currently resides in Louisville, KY by way of his birthplace of New Orleans, LA. You don’t get what most would consider that New Orleans accent or sound from Omni on this project on my initial skim through listen, but then again, this project is not one that you need to skim through. Omni feels like an artist you need to sit back and really listen to. On further review he shows glimpses of what us non-Bayou dwellers would consider a New Orleans accent and that musical sound on the tracks must be inspired from his hometown. Plus, let’s be honest, we don’t know every New Orleans inspired sounds.
He delivers some jewels on "Does My Thing" as he sings a catchy hook that helps push the song a bit. Theus Da God steals the spotlight on "AWS" (As We Speak) and the projects gets jumping for me on "Juge". My favorite track on the project, "Juge", is a bit more up-tempo track while also being smooth as hell. Omni rides the beat and raps about a chick knowing exactly what that Juge do, “She know what it do for me”. The Goal closes out Gavrille and much like this project, it’s a short track under 3 minute track. “Get to the goal my guy” is the catchy chorus Omni spits on this one and it about sums up the project. You get the feeling Omni is doing just that. I would love to see Omni spitting with some different production next time around. Unfamiliar and more polished production would push Omnietc over the edge into higher heights musically. Overall, make progress, get right to it. Get to the goal, my guy. Omni did just that on this one.
Bottom line and question of the day; is It Dope Tho? The answer is it’s a solid effort. Listen now and maybe thank me later... #DopeTho #YouWelcome
