It was once said that MC means move the crowd. In a time of home studios, downloadable beat making software and various websites where novice rappers can post their work to share with rap fans worldwide, those who truly live up to the title seemed to be few and far between.
Othello has been rocking live and making a name for himself since 98. Having toured the US, Europe, and Japan, Othello has been on the summer-long Warped Tour, shared stages with De La Soul , People Under the Stairs, Black Milk, Guilty Simpson, Galactic, Chali Tuna, One BeLo, Ying Yang Twins and countless other local and national acts. He has sold over 20,000 records around the world, and has released a variety of projects as a solo musician, with his bands The Blacknotes and The Hypnotics, and as 1/3rd of the Northwest based Hip Hop super crew, Lightheaded alongside partners Braille and Ohmega Watts. With a commanding stage persense, honest lyrics and a seemless delivery, Othello is an MC with a heap of soul and a career will stand the test of time.
After the recent world-wide release of his album, “Alive At the Assembly Line”, Othello has been back in the lab building new records to take on the road and rock live… like an MC is supposed to. |
