Artist description Omega Johnson, a/k/a Gaijin Red, is a classic sort of hip-hop artist who hits his audience with both freestyle and conscious lyrics on life and hip-hop, over melodic head-banging production. His style is elusive in feel, as it spreads across jazz, alternative, and classic hip-hop moods. Omega flows with intellectual vision and hardcore stamina.

Musical Influences Good Music, PERIOD. From Public Enemy to Prince, Art Blakey and John Coltrane to Stevie Wonder and Erykah Badu, to The Roots, Portishead, Jimi Hendrix, and Bjork.
