Search - Meaty Ogre :: Leo Vs. Pisces

After showcasing his production genius lacing tracks for MC s such as Qwel, Offwhyte, Mars Ill & Sage Francis (on the "Makeshift Patriot" EP), it was a logical step for Chicago DJ Meaty Ogre to create his own spawn. Meaty s knowledge & deep appreciation of music has enabled him to bust through the usual limitations of the "production album" formula and construct a cohesive album. "Leo vs. Pisces" is a work of beauty, melding Meaty s well-crafted productions, his own colorful vocal tracks & cuts with some of Chicago s finest rappers including Offwhyte & Typical Cats Qwel & Denizen Kane. New talent from the G4 roster is also debuted here, as Robust, Mestizo & Rift Napalm deliver previews of their respective upcoming solo albums on Galapagos4. Meaty Ogre is known in the beatmaking/beatdigging community as an avid vinyl collector and historian. He has gained critical acclaim for his limited & sought after 7-inch instrumental releases on Chicago s Heardrums Records, now on their 5th release.
