This brotha is genuinely one of the most slept on artists in the entire Neo-soul genre. He's been on the scene for a little over 20 years and has worked with alot of US based artists. I got hip to him when I used to live in the UK.









His latest album to date is called "The Man".

The Man, his 7th album, is Omar's most consistently impressive set since his second album. Featuring such guests as Caron Wheeler of Soul II Soul fame and Stuart Zendor of Jamiroquai, The Man delivers his unique mix of Soul, R&B, Jazz, Latin, and Groove, especially on an inspired remake of his signature hit "There's Nothing Like This".

A friend of mine knows him, Omar is dope. His song with ODB used to crack me up lol. Worked with Common and Guru and others too.

Mos def. I met him out in London and dude was super cool. He's highly slept on.

Omar been steadily in my rotation since that post from 2018. I was hoping to get to see him perform when I lived overseas, but he'll be in my city next week :blessed:
