With a humble B-Boy swagger and original values Ohmega Watts (born Milton Campbell) first released on Ubiquity with a ful and DJ friendly solo 12” featuring his group Lightheaded and Quannum artists The Lifesavas.

“A Request” was an up tempo J5 party-style hip-hop banger with beats to rock dancefloors from coast to coast. While “Illuminate” provided a smoother buttery sound, and “Wind It Up” an instrumental mid-tempo flava…Most of the music on this 12” came together in a live, random, spur of the moment session. “A Request” turned heads worldwide including internationally respected DJs like Mr. Scruff, Gilles Peterson, Greyboy, and the Los Angeles-based Heavyweight Record Pool. Earning comparisons to Digital Underground and Pete Rock it also scored Ohmega Watts an album deal with Ubiquity.

“That Sound” is the massive follow-up single to his 2004 sell-out debut. It features up n’coming West Coast MCs the Procussions with Noelle from The Rebirth on the hook. Quantic Soul Orchestra step up with a super tasty remix. “That Sound” is a bouncy party track sounding like vintage Tribe Called Quest or Leaders of the New School ala ‘Scenario.’ The Quantic Soul Orchestra mix has an infectious summer funk vibe, with instantly catchy guitar licks and Hammond organ adding a wicked organic vibe.

Producing since 1997 and MC’ing since 1993 the Ohmega Watts resume includes tracks produced for Mars ILL on Ill Boogie, for Listener on Mush, plus he’s recorded as Lightheaded for Day By Day Ent, and as Return To Sender on the Piece of The Action compilation.
