2011 CODE ORANGE [MIXTAPE]

“Akhi and Haris combine to drop some real hip-hop from the LNS Crew, sponsored by Thirty Three and a Third! All tracks are sampled from Japanese records, except for track 3 which was a record of a live performance in Japan, and possibly track 9 since it's in a foreign language that I can't read, but the people on the cover have slanted eyes. The album title refers to the code formerly used by the Department of Homeland Security to instill fear and panic in the American community. This album is dedicated to all people who have been kept down and oppressed and feel like they're not allowed to have a voice (like those of African descent, the Japanese during WWII, the Chinese and North Koreans, Latinos/Chicanos, Muslims, and all downtrodden people everywhere)!” –Haris Qureshi

2011 MISSING ELEMENTS - KYDD [MUSIC VIDEO]

2011 ORANGE LAZARUS [MIXTAPE]

After packing his bags for Austin a year prior to this release, the native San Antonian gathered up his newly revised contact list and dropped what some would call a “holy smokes this is dope!” type of record. “Orange Lazarus” showcases Ocky’s lyrical prowess over a slew of boom bap, hard hitting, hip-hop production from some of the top producers in Austin and the blogosphere. Relying heavily on his knack for finding ear blazing production coupled with his cunning songwriting approach, “Orange Lazarus” definitely caught people by surprise. Tracks like “Six Pack o’ Big Flats” & “Hero Skyline” will keep any hip-hop fan on the edge of their seat, while introspective cuts like “One More Day” & “Pointing Fingers” will welcome the listener inside the mind of an artist just trying to get by. But if you want that #TurnUp, “Goodsounds Lifestyle” & “White Flags” will do the trick. Notable features included Cory Kendrix, Bang Boogie, & Curbside Jones. Notable production includes Lo-Phi, A Better Tomorrow, StewRat, & Beautiful Lou. #OrangeLazarus
