ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The derivative, disposable nature of modern pop has long been a source of consternation for music-lovers, but old souls may want to start looking for something else to complain about; if the relentlessly creative Outasight‘s signing to major label Warner Bros. is any indication, the pendulum may finally be swinging back towards timeless tunes. Having spent years paying his dues on the underground scene, the Yonkers singer/emcee is preparing to introduce listeners nationwide to his innovative style, an eclectic fusion of pop, hip-hop, rock and reggae that he knows will endure From Here to Eternity.
Since making his Booth debut with “Another Late Night” back in summer of 2008, Outasight has been a fixture on our front page, bringing us numerous mixtape tracks as well as Booth-exclusive freestyle “Rehearsal Tape.” Fresh off the late-2009 release of breakthrough mixtape Further (which he re-released in digital EP form today), the artist is hard at work on his debut studio album, scheduled to hit record store shelves and online retailers this summer.
In an exclusive interview with our own DJ “Z,” Outasight steps into the Booth to discuss how his time on the NYC drum and bass scene influenced his current sound, whether a collaboration with OJ Da Juiceman is in his future, and why those looking to imitate his stylish sunglass game should look somewhere other than Walgreens for their shades.
