For the purposes of this review, IAMOMNI is a vocalist and MC from Los Angeles.
It is clear from reading more that he does other things and goes other places. His debut album was produced in Los Angeles and Paris, and included contributors from London, Japan, and Australia. There is a very citizen-of-the-world feeling.
I specifically appreciated a greater level of musicality than is often found in hip hop. This is particularly noticeable with the piano on "Animal" (one of many enjoyable collaborations with Tiki Lewis) and the intro on "Power".
Beyond that, I loved that I wasn't constantly distracted by profanity and misogyny. That shouldn't be such a shock, and it definitely shouldn't require the artist being so cosmopolitan, but perhaps it makes sense that in this case that's how it worked out.
Definitely worth checking out.
