Cop(e)acetic: Outasight

Richard Andrew. A normal enough name, I'd say. Outasight. Not your average moniker, but still they are One and the SAME. Outasight is an artist born and raised in New York. I want to describe him as a rapper[SLASH]singer, but that wouldn't do HIM justice. I think I'll call him a Soulful Spitta....yeah that's appropriate! Whether he is spitting a well written 16 or singing some type of ballad-Esque song, Outasight does it with soooooooooooo much SOUL. In interviews he has cited Stevie Wonder as one of his influences (how he came up with the name? that might have something to do with it, who KNOWS) and it definitely shows. His music is evidence in itself that he has been influenced by the sounds of Hip Hop and Soul. The first song I heard from Outasight was "Good Evening," a very catchy...fast paced tune, that immediately had me singing along...."Good Mornin' Good Evenin' I hope ya like DREAMIN." Once you get my shoulders moving and my head nodding.....you've won me over, and he did JUST THAT [plus he's easy on the EYES...Owww]! Since discovering the charismatic tunes of Outasight, I have copped his Radio New York LP and his From There To Here Mixtape. I would suggest that you cop them as well! He recently released a new single titled "Brand New Day" [its a selection in my iTouch music player, peep the sidebar]. He has also been recently featured on a Mick Boogie remix project called Re-Living Thing [check that out at ThePressPlayShow.com]
