We Move Like Light Speed Cannibals

oh no
Oh No - The Ride (feat. medaphoar). Oh No is Madlib's little brother, so naturally he's been welcomed into the Stones Throw family. But those of you looking for the same weeded lab beats that Madlib stamps out these days, you're going to be sorely disappointed. Instead we get this sick nasty beat that sounds like the original NES Final Fantasy soundtrack. Which is awesome, in my opinion.

Now, a couple of the emcees on Stones Throw's roster don't always sell it for me. Medaphoar is hit or miss for me, but this track is a solid one. His rhymes feed the beat and together it works well. That said, I'd like to see some kids mash up that beat.

Anyway, I post this today because there's a release party for the album this week. Oh No is celebrating is Madlib, Jaylib, Medaphoar and Wildchild. It's at the Conga Room here in Los Angeles. 15 bucks general admission. It should be a solid, hometown set for the boys.

For those of you in other parts of the country, you can grab the ride 12" or "The Disrupt" album at Sandbox Automatic for a few dollars.

jeez, that's a hell of a hot beat! seriously, where'd this come from? it seems so so-far-outta-left-field, I wonder where Oh No has been hiding this last year or so... that cut "Make Noise" on the stones throw sampler from a year or so back is another hot joint, but not like this in the least
