HipHopDX Premiere!
Wondering how “Omens” came about? Check out what Coach Tev had to say about his new single and his thought on the Dallas scene:
So as far as the creating the track goes, we had a fellow bass/flute player add some live instrumentation to the original drum pattern Drugs the Model Citizen started off with. Our engineer was feeling the vibe of the session so much he decided to freestyle a guitar solo as well. Drugs then arranged all the instruments and created the production you heard so major shout out to that guy. The beat is loosely based off the first few seconds on the 1974 Midnight Movers’ track ‘Lost For Words.’

Although there are few direct lines related to the idea of the title (Omens), this is the first track I can say I put my complete all into. We knew when we first layed our vocals down that this track has potential to push us to the next level, whatever that may be. And here we are getting a premiere from one of the most prestigious blogs in the hip hop community, hence the title.
As far as the Dallas music scene, I could literally talk about it for hours. I’ve only been paying close attention to the scene for probably the last two years. However, in this amount of time I have managed to watch and get out and meet a lot of the cats out here who are making a name for themselves. Dallas is finally creating a name for itself outside of the jig/boogie movement that seemed to forever shadow us. This new movement is completing being pushed by the youth. From Crit Life, to Iras, to G.U.N., to Blue, the Misfit, our city has no choice but to blow up in the next few years. It is crazy too because we can all literally sense the energy of what is to come. The explosion of Post Malone and Justus’ involvement in the latest Dr. Dre album are simply a forewarning of what it to come, and it is about time. –Coach Tev
