”OMG is a project that I am very happy with the sound and the overall presentation ofGods’ work in and through me. I poured over this CD, many long nights and even longer days making sure that the finite details of the song itself was complete and appropriate for the message that need be conveyed. Some songs inspire, others are written as reflection or dedication pieces, while others are simply written to positively and spiritually impact hip-hop culture.We’ve made it a point to offer something for everyone to enjoy on OMG.”
