Ohmega Watts’ first album in three years, Watts Happening, dropped last month. However, he’s mostly spent his time promoting it in Europe, not the U.S. Overseas, it seems, audiences follow a wider range of hip-hop music, not just the mainstream/snap-trap variety. Why should he waste time performing here to crowds of a dozen people or less (as was the case at an Atlanta show last year)?
Maybe that’s why, instead of launching a full-fledged tour, the Northwest MC/producer is simply cranking out a few spot dates before traveling out of the country again to Australia. He’ll do just around a dozen dates this month, including one with fellow Lightheaded crew member Othello. Be lucky that he’s doing them at all.
