DJ SEMTEX [BBC 1XTRA] gets behind producer turned artist OD HUNTE gearing up to release his debut single / album. Having spent the most part of his already fruitful career just out of the spotlight OD is preparing to step out into the light to release his first album this summer.
The track that DJ SEMTEX has taken such a liking to ‘BIG THINGS’ is the first single produced written and performed by OD HUNTE. You may not be familiar with him but there’s a good chance you’ve come into contact with his music before as he’s been producing tracks for some of the biggest TV networks in the UK / US and has had many of his producer tracks featured in some of the biggest game titles over the last ten years.
I love stuff like this, yep you’re gonna argue “What’s this got to Hip Hop?”, well….
1. Hip Hop derives itself and is influenced by many genres of music, funk and breaks just being two examples
and
2. It’s my site and I like to sometimes share other stuff with you that I dig

Rather than becoming preoccupied with the past, and worrying about the future, Brooklyn’s rising talent, Saga, knows that the only way to successfully move through life, and efficiently adapt to change, is by carefully anticipating his next move. “Eye,” the third video taken from Saga’s debut effort, ‘From Out of the Shadows’, brings forth his efforts as an artist that can rock with both street wise hustlers, and story-rap purists.
He’s a product of ’90s Boom bap culture, a style immediately showcased on this cut that puts you into the heart of the action. As he drops a barrage of lyrics over a delicate piano riff and snappy drums, produced by the Brooklyn by way of Toronto beatsmith, Marco Polo, Saga gives us a glimpse of Chinatown’s beauty, bouncing between bright open alleyways, and dark storefronts illuminated by neon signs. Be sure to add, ‘From Out of the Shadows’ to your playlist, which is now available for free download — please refer to the stream/download links below.
