Omar Linx Interview

May 3rd, 2011 | By Shiraz شیراز Myl

So, if you’ve been following hip hop or dubstep lately then you’ve probably heard of
Omar Linx. The Toronto based rapper is becoming increasingly popular, partly due to
his crossover work with dubstep producers Hooks and DC (Zeds Dead).

The dude is undeniably talented and he brings a fresh style not only to Canadian hip hop but to hip hop in general. Omar’s raspy vocals pack a serious punch and are complimented by his choice of producers. Lyrically Linx is versatile, able to achieve honest and haunting introspection on some tracks while on others keeping the lyrical content light and full of punchlines. His most recent release, A Cold Welcome (available for free, download here) is an excellent introduction for those who have not heard him before. Also worth checking out his tracks with Zeds Dead, “Out for Blood” and “Rudeboy.”
I caught up with Omar on May 2nd, 2011, and we chatted about various aspects of his life, his career and music in general. Check Omar Linx’s Facebook Page, and check out the Made You Look Radio Facebook Page while you’re there.
