"O'MEGA RED PARTY BUS AND ALBUM LISTENING PARTY"

Crossphazer.com got a chance to hang out with O'MEGA RED at a party bus last night in NYC. I had a great time and made some new friends along the way. The party was very official and the CD was top notch as well. We look forward to doing more things with OMEGA RED in the future. This is a very focused and confident artist I am sure the sky is the limit for this guy. - www.crossphazer.com


"Putting the pieces back together"

"Putting the pieces back together At 28, Rapper Omega Red has learned hard lessons. Now he's working hard to make it in music and life"

In addition, the 28-year-old artist’s latest mixtape, ‘‘The Red Tape Volume II,’’ is selling well online and on the streets. This exposure is bringing him more opportunities to perform. ‘‘The music gets out there,’’ he says, ‘‘and people just start hitting me up [for gigs].’’

But this success has been hard won. That might seem surprising — Grant happens to be the nephew of disco and soul legend Donna Summer. But the rapper has never been one to choose the easy path. - Boston Globe
