Oh No

Oxnard, California's Oh No is a forceful emcee and exploratory beatmaker with an extensive discography of both vocal and instrumental hip-hop albums. While he shares his older brother Madlib's penchant for deep cratedigging and constructing music from a wide range of genres, Oh No's work is often less abstract and more accessible. He often focuses albums on specific sample sources, including Galt MacDermot (2006's Exodus into Unheard Rhythms), Mediterranean psych-funk (2007's Dr. No's Oxperiment), and Rudy Ray Moore's Dolomite soundtracks (2012's Ohnomite). Oh No is half of the duo Gangrene with lauded producer/rapper the Alchemist, and he released an album with Madlib, as the Professionals, in 2020. His other collaborative efforts include releases with Prince Po, Blu, and Tha God Fahim. He deconstructed the music of Roy Ayers on 2023's Good Vibes/Bad Vibes, and issued the fourth Gangrene album, Heads I Win, Tails You Lose, in 2024.
