New York, NY – Next Mill Entertainment, LLC announces the release of
"Hidden Gems", a collection of rare, classic and never heard before songs from OC. U.S release date March 27th
Coming off the heels of 2005's "Smoke and Mirrors" album released on
Hiero Imperium OC returns with "Hidden Gems" a collection of rare,
remixed, 12" only records and a few new songs. Hidden Gems features
such artist as Jay-Z, Organized Konfusion, The late Great Big L, DITC,
Jeru the Damaja, Sadat X, Da Ranjahz and a host of great producers.
Whenever people talk about slept-on emcees, the name OC is
always mentioned. Omar Cradle's history of under-promoted albums and
sample clearance issues is familiar to anyone who knows their hip-hop
history. In 1994 his classic debut album Word…Life knocked the wind out
of people's chests and put the Bushwick, Brooklyn emcee on the map. But
somehow after 13 years, 5 solo albums, 1 group album and a dozen movie
soundtrack inclusions, OC has remained largely unnoticed by the masses.
Throughout his career OC has giving the world; Word…Life, Jewelz,
Bon Appetit, Star Child, Smoke and Mirrors and collaborated with his
DITC crew on the Diggin' In The Crates self titled album amongst
several 12" singles. Through ever album process there was tracks that
didn't make the album some became 12" singles and other never seen the
light of day or got remixed. To hold his fans over til the next album
and give all the die hards a chance to complete their OC collection
OC's Mushine Inc and Next Mill Entertainment created "Hidden Gems".
Hidden Gems shows the evolution of the artist known to us as OC, from
the first to last track is vintage OC that you fell in love with from
Fudge Pudge. Hidden Gems is packed with unreleased songs, rare 12"
songs, and a few new joints exclusively for your listening pleasure.
The first single "The Inventor" b/w "Yes Sir" f/ Sadat X, impacting
at radio February 7th and hitting shelves February 27th. Check for
