OBAN rapper Rory O’B is set for a busy summer after announcing the release of his new EP, Quit Rapping, and a number of gigs and festivals. He’s set to release the project on an undisclosed date after his performance at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut on July 18.
Although Rory invited notable hip hop producers to help engineer the final product, the record sees him rapping over live instrumentation that he recorded himself, including guitar, bass and cajon. Rory believes this makes for a more ‘folky, local sound’. Rory says: ‘It’s important for hip hop emcees to talk about their surroundings. Oban might not have the shock factor or be particularly dangerous, but it’s the place that affected me and there’s plenty of potential for humour too.
