Ohmega Watts

• Words: Jennifer Marston

Ohmega Watts causes some ruckus in an elementary school on his latest video, for "Eyes and Ears", off his new album, Watts Happening. The Portland-based MC, producer, and longtime member of the Ubiquity roster disrupts the studious endeavors of many an elementary-school kid, and led by three dudes with cardboard eyes and ears, proceeds to usher everyone into a talent show. His chorus "You can do it, you can do it" is weirdly reminiscent of those inspirational posters that used to hang on the walls of your third-grade classroom. Too bad we didn't have anything as cool as multi-talented hip-hop artists dropping by to teach us b-boy moves back then.
