The songwriter and performer of hip hop
known as Lord Olo has released his latest LP album, “Super Pisces
Robot Kingdom.” The full-length record contains 12 original tracks
for an approximate total listening time of half an hour. It has been
proudly published as an independent release without the involvement
of the corporate music industry. Varied, colorful, stylish and
aggressive, “Super Pisces Robot Kingdom” is easily one of the
most inventive and entertaining hip hop records of 2017 so far.
Seattle's Lord Olo cites as main influences Kanye West, MF DOOM, Lex Luger, Eminem, and Snoop Dogg. Of these, his overall sound lands closest to Doom's, but Olo is an artist with a unique tone, a unique image, a unique message, and a unique delivery. His rhymes and lines sometimes recall the fundamental pioneers of rap and sometimes sound like innovations branching from hip hop artists from 2005 and later, but when his beats and backing melodies are stirred in, the result is often mysterious, enigmatic, and occasionally even mystical – in other words, unique.
This cryptic feeling is integral to the Lord Olo experience, as evidenced by comments from the man, himself.
Asked to describe the theme of “Super
Pisces Robot Kingdom,” Lord Olo writes, “This work of Piscean art
is to express the true Nature of myself. Inspired by my overwhelming
breakdowns and depressions of 2016, I realized that my sign the
Pisces is the root of my problems: Understanding more than I want and
feeling more than what's necessary. This Art piece is for anyone
who thinks and feels above the modern expectation but especially
molded for my water-sign friends.”
Lord Olo, originally from Akron, OH,
has been crafting rhymes since third grade. 10th grade found him
recording his first mixtape, “Novus,” followed by his “L O R D”
full-length in grade 12. By 2016, he was ready to collaborate with
Wann Sklobi on a third album, “Goldenfist.” IamtheIndustry.com
wrote of the record, “While the production may be unconventional,
[Lord Olo's] flow and lyricism is not. He’s confident on the mic,
delivers bars and puns, and has real talent. And even the production
itself, which uses sampling, is great.”
In the end, “Super Pisces Robot
Kingdom” is a chimerical monster which deserves plenty of
attention. The songs average out at three minutes each so the whole
album moves, and each track is a beast of a different color. Hip hop
fans should definitely apply.
“Super Pisces Robot Kingdom” by Lord Olo is available from over 700 digital music stores online worldwide now. Get in early.
