Hannibal Stax made his worldwide major-label debut on "Itz a Set Up" from Gang Starr's classic album "Moment of Truth." He rose under the tutelage of the late Guru and DJ Premier, appearing on high-profile projects from Gang Starr, Afu-Ra, Baldhead Slick, and Big Shug, before unveiling his debut solo LP "Seize The Day" produced entirely by Marco Polo in May 2013. Born in 1973, Stax describes hip-hop as his lifeline – not a career choice but a spiritual practice. PF Cuttin (real name Felix Rovira) is one half of Blahzay Blahzay, the East Coast hip-hop duo from Brooklyn formed in 1985. Their breakthrough came with "Danger" in 1995, spurred by a catchy sample from Jeru Da Damaja's "Come Clean." PF Cuttin's polished production earmarked the album with a distinctly clean-crafted sound that rivaled such established beat sculptors as Pete Rock and Premier. He's released 100+ mixtapes since 1994 and has DJ'd all over the world. "Omega Supreme" brings these two Brooklyn lineages together: five tracks, features from Sadat X and Rasheed Chappell. This isn't nostalgia; it's earned chemistry between two veterans who've maintained their craft without interruption. Stax's rough-hewn voice over Cuttin's dusty, precise production carries a weight that only decades of shared history can provide.
