O.R.O.: Innovations (hosted by DJ Bless)
Today is a special day: not only is it my birthday (*elbow nudge*), but it is also the day MASHtheMEDIA.com finally premieres the debut mixalbum by the upcoming Paterson, NJ rap duo O.R.O. (Only Real Ones). Now, when I say “mixalbum” – as I have used that term in the past – I mean although it’s an independent street-level release that the masses will consider a mixtape, it consists of all original songs and production so I feel the title “album” is a little more appropriate. Hence, the blend.
For those of you who have been following M.A.S.H for the past however long, you know of these guys from performances, MtM webisodes, and et cetera. O.R.O. is made up of two artists: Pure Bandana and Murda Black, both who double as emcees and producers. They’ve rocked EODub with us. They’ve rocked Highline Balloom with us. They even ripped on DJ Lazy K‘s show Street Treats Radio with us. Now, you finally get a formal introduction to the two with the first downloadable offering they bring to the table.
“Innovations”, which is hosted by the energetic voice of DJ Bless, is made up of seventeen full length tracks almost all of which are produced by O.R.O. themselves, and features two brand new tracks with us, M.A.S.H, as well as appearances by B-God and Pain. The music is dope, the product is exclusive, and the download is free: you cannot go wrong…
