Something Different (feat. Carolina Black) - Dominik Omega

Originally from St. Louis, MO, Omega relocated with his family to the Northeast in 1985. The transition to the rural isolated Berkshires left much to be desired for the active and creative Omega. At the age of 14, after getting kicked out of his house, he began his battle with the Foster Care system.

Finding comfort in the booming sounds of early '90s hip-hop, Omega found his voice in the art of freestyle rhyme. Constant battling with other emcees for the thrill of attaining lyrical mastery helped Omega quickly rise to the top of the game.

Searching for new emcees to battle, Omega moved back home to Western Massachusetts. Here he continued his rap career, joining forces with emcee Rev. Trxx, with whom Omega formed his first crew, Knoble Gasses. Feeling a need for change and challenge, Omega left the East coast for a stint in Long Beach, California. While attending school for animation, Omega stayed on his grind and was quickly embraced into the Long Beach hip-hop community. However he quickly returned to the Berkshires after only a year to reunite with his fellow Knoble soldiers.

At 23, Omega became a father. He took a hiatus from his rap career to focus on his new responsibilities, but soon found that his need to work in the studio and perform on stage were so strong that his life felt unbalanced. After two years, Omega has
returned with a renewed sense of belonging and a determined intensity. He has picked up where he left off with his usual blend of strength, wit and perception. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
