OPM | Golden State of Mind

If you’re into very diverse, original, funky styles of music, this is the album for you. The rock/reggae vibe is exceptional. The occasional rap adds flavor and the music; damn it’s just plain GOOD! “Family & Friends (Feat Big B)” is a prime example as it showcases the rolling yet bouncy guitar strums, banging bass play, pristine and simple percussion and a nice rap in a reggae sounding delivery by Big B. The hook is very upbeat and the vocals echo. “Honey (Feat Big B)” takes on a lot more of a hip hop/rap feel. The lyrics might make some people cringe yet make most people quite pleased. The beat crawls along in a slow, bass heavy fashion and is quite edgy fitting with the controversial lyrics brilliantly. They get very reggae on the jam “Square Peg (Feat Pato Banton)”. The lyrics are simple, yet fun…. “I’m a square peg trying to fit in a round hole…”. Cypress Hill’s Sen Dog appears alongside Big B on the crazy sounding “Shoot ‘Em Up”, a chilling musical composition that backs some seriously intense rhyme spitting. This album is da bomb, get your copy now.
