Werebear EP by Oso Negro & Weighn Beats
The Werebear EP by Oso Negro (OR/MS) & Weighn (Boise, ID) is a dark and nimble run through rites of adulthood: discovery & independence, choices & consequence, separation from community, and finally, reflection. Weighn's sequenced beats range from spacious and dour to driving and vigorous, but always with overcast tones. Oso's melancholia grows as he travels the arc from wonder to disillusionment, digging deep with lyrics and flows throughout the journey. Werebear features album art by and a collaboration on "Maniacs" with, underground Bay legend, Z-Man (San Francisco). A funky remix of "Maniacs" by MPC beast Fresh Kils (Toronto) brings a re-imagined flavor to the track making it groove as a perfect counterpoint to the original.

A recovering scientist, Oso Negro dedicated his present to hip-hop +. He can't relate to much now-a-days, so he's decided to make music of his life and time. "Breachin' kids thoughts, but aiming at the minds of men, finding them fighting tidal strength." With a twist of reggae & a splash of crooning, Oso mixes it up, keeping it fun & stimulating
