OVEOUS MAXIMUS: REAL HEADLINES (SOMALIA WINEHOUSE TRIBUTE)

2011-08-05T01:56:00.004-04:00

The world is full of news you don't ever hear. Ever. Or, the important headlines don't ever get the attention they really deserve. When I heard Drake's "Headlines", I was a bit surprised that he didn't really do anything with the topic considering the title of the song. So because he didn't, I felt I had to. Actually really glad he didn't. Cuz I would of never wrote these lyrics.

Maybe (ft. Tiffany Janell) by Oveous

Lyrics by Oveous Maximus & Miz Metro. Chorus & bridge vocals performed by Tiffany Janell. Drums by DJ MSG. Keys and synths by Oveous. Produced by Oveous for Moca Arts Music/Interscope Digital. - file is in high quality format: 320khz mp3

I originally had this song planned on being released on my next album. But felt that it was better to drop it for ya'll to enjoy as a solo joint instead. Spread LOve. Hope you really enjoy this track. Its my vision of future rap, soul, and just good ol music in general. 3rd verse is my favorite cuz I just spazzed out on that shit. Everytime I hear it, I get goosebumps. I know my brother would of been proud. REAL TALK.

WMC 2011 RECAP BY OVEOUS MAXIMUS : PHOTOS

2011-03-14T20:02:00.004-04:00

One of the first nites in Miami I ran into the heavy spitter Talib. Was good to see my fellow Def Jam Poetry rapper in the mix. It was Biggie on the playlist all nite too. fiya. oh yea, and "Gutta Rainbows" is out now. get that.

This place I always hit cuz it never fails me. they cook the food here with lots of L'Ove.

Whenever I rent a car, I always get it in black. have to. its just classic to me. and classy. but even sweeter than that is having New York plates in Florida. word.

JoJo Flores has his party every year called GotSoul at WMC. 2 years ago he had me perform the Yoruba classic "Mirror Dance". This year he showed me mad L'Ove by letting me perform and debut my new single "NOvela y Con Con". mega props to him for that. South Africa was in the house and they showed my Caribbean self much L'Ove!

On my final days, I reflected on my past. and made peace with it. for eternity. This you see here is my dreads from back in the day. I buried them in the Ocean. Location will not be disclosed. MY ENERGY IS NOW STRONGER THAN EVER. RIP to the old. L'Ove you. but on to the NEW...

Ok, this is a Miami sunset. need I say more? no i don't... take a moment to look around you. and absorb the beauties in life and nature. the calm. the peace.

side note: Japan, I wish you a quick and healthy and positve recovery.

One L'Ove

2010-10-08T13:54:00.004-04:00

Originally, this song was written to a track that wasn't mine. I felt that the lyrics were too real, too raw, and too honest to leave behind as a mixtape single. So I made this version to make it an original.

So this is my 2nd music video to date. Wow... I can't believe I've debuted 2 of these already. Was always a dream of mine to show some visuals. Its now a reality. I want to thank my brother Quetzal Guerrero for asking me to co-write this song with him and also thank Dahveed Telles for shooting this amazing video along with his super talented crew. I jus hope the world catches on to us before I die. I'd like to see the recognition in this lifetime. Until then, enjoy this. RIP to my brother Ziiinc Blue. I dedicate the verses to him.

FLYING LOTUS REMIX: "IF ART IS WINE" FEAT. OVEOUS MAXIMUS AND MOMS

2010-05-03T03:04:00.012-04:00

This song is for all the Artists out there who act like THEY'RE SHIT DON'T STINK. muthafuckas guess what... it DOES.. just like everybody else's. Can't stand muthafuckas with egos. so unnecessary. no, really...it is. This all started when I was rocking a few shows at SXSW this year and I was telling my friend Radio Rose about how some dudes act funny like they don't know you or like they need security as if they was on some MJ shit. AND THEY'RE NOT!

Anyway, as always, I will not dissapoint you with the lyrics. The original song from Flying Lotus is titled "Sangria Spin Cycles". You can get that from StonesThrow Records. which btw, my homie Dam Funk is on that label. so make sure ya'll support him. thats my dude. So yeah, I wrote a song with the whole "wine" theme to keep Lotus' original idea goin. In my lyrics you'll notice that the entire song is written in "wine" metaphor. Just like I said in the opening... "Art is like Wine, let it age for awhile before you spill your EGO." Nuff said. ps. This Painting you see here is by Ruth Olivar Millan.

OVEOUS MAXIMUS: THE IAMBIC MOMENT

2010-03-30T03:35:00.005-04:00

Well, here we go again.... Just a few months later since my debut album "Future Intentions" and now I bring you this... THE NEW ALBUM... "The Iambic Moment". This time around lyrically, I focused more on telling you guys personal stories and the reflections of a fellow human being known as Ove. I hope you read between the lines at times so that you may be inspired to the full effect of this project's intention. The beats are very different too. I carefully selected joints that allowed me to spit some heavy bars. Like I said in an earlier post on my twitter, If ya'll can't feel these bars, then I was NEVER a Poet. Having said that, I'm still patiently waiting for XXL, Hip Hop DX, and FADER, etc... to respectfully acknowledge a brutha. I know my time will come. I just hope I'm still alive to see it. This album is Free. Its YOURS, cuz I made it for YOU. So take it, and share it with a friend. This is the second installment of my heart. Third album is in the works, so enjoy this one till I drop the next one this summer. TIIIIIGER UPPERCUT!!! DOWNLOAD "THE IAMBIC MOMENT" HERE

WORDS FROM THE BRAIN OF OVEOUS ON THIS PAST DECADE (THE 2000'S)...

2009-12-31T18:42:00.000-05:00

WOW...

What a ride it has been. Truly a journey of ups and downs for so many of us. As some of you already know, I lost my only brother to suicide in 2002. That shit set off a ton things in motion. See in 2000, I graduated college with two BA's, moved back to NYC, and started a career in graphic design in the fashion industry. All seemed like it was goin well until my bro passed. But when he sacrificed his life; it gave me the opportunity to bless so many people across the globe with my gift of words. And for that, I'll always be honored and grateful to him.

2003-2004 was such a refreshing time. I felt good vibes after my brother's storm. I remember goin to London/Europe for the first time. Nuyorican Poets Cafe had become my home. The city in the summer was banging. I used to love the electricity that flows from me to the audience and then back to me again. That shit was priceless. Writing everyday was a must. I had like 20 ideas in my head at once. It was a time of uncontrollable inspiration. It was also the end of my career with the Style Council (a really cool print design agency in the fashion district of New York) sort of. I still work with their print agents today. Its cool, sometimes you see my work out there and don't know its mine. ;)

In 2005, I met Rotimi Rainwater, director for SP!T (SPIT). It was an amazing time. It was also the year I stepped onto the Apollo stage. The Nuyorican was home. Every Wed... Every Friday... Me and a bunch of poets would go up in there and rip the mic to release stress, frustration, and the ups and downs of life. Filming SPIT was amazing tho. It felt like it was the opportunity of a lifetime. I mean, think about it... A FILM! On the big screen, worldwide, for all to see Ziiinc, Me, the poets, and the artform of raw spittin. But Nooooooooo... couldn't really happen cuz just like an episode of Entourage, people's egos in Hollywood get in the way and well, SPIT never saw the light of day. Whatever... shit didn't hold me back. I'm always on my next shit...

2006 was the year I started to visit the good folks at LouderARTS. It was definitely different than Nuyorican but It was cool. It had a vibe I hadn't seen yet in the poetry scene in New York. Needless to say for the next three years along with Rachel, Marty, Gomez, Roger, and a few other young guns we set the stage for what extraordinary writing can do at the National Poetry Slams. It was fun. It was a blessing. But something was wrong for me. Personally. The entire time I was out there doing these open mics and writing these poems I kept thinking about goin back to the one thing I knew I was meant to do... Music. That was always the plan. Music. But the beautiful distraction that was poetry wouldn't let me go back just yet...

2007 rolls around and I land a spot on the final season of HBO's Def Poetry. That was pretty cool cuz I remember seeing the posters all over the subway train and even watching it on tv thinking to myself, "I have to be on this".. and so when it did happen, I was feeling very blessed to say the least. I think later that year I also did the BET lyric cafe. Shouts to Lynton for putting me on. I miss ATL btw... Its where Lynton, my long time college friend and my cousin live. Wait, unless they moved? Lol. Need to check up on them. Movie of the year was "No Country for Old Men".

2008 was the year I started to mess around with music more. The transition had begun to take place. Slowly... but surely. I co-own a record label with my good friends called SEED. One day while I was brushing my teeth, Bradford James (co-founder) lets me hear this record produced by Boddhi Satva. Beat was crazy! So I started freestyling the hook right from the bathroom to the living room and the rest is now iTunes history. I also started working with Dave D*Sol Rivera (a dope dj, producer, and engineer) who is the nicest guy you'll ever meet. Things I guess were starting to fall in the right place. 2008 would also mark the year I retired from competing in "slam" poetry. Not because I was "over" it. Not at all... It was because I had to return to what was in heart since day one. The music was calling me.

2009... My breakout year I guess you could say as a recording artist. But not like I blew up and shit. LOl.. no.. I just mean that it was the year I "broke" out of my shell musically. With the release of "Apologize" and the club banger "Mirror Dance" suddenly for me at least, it became clear where I felt truly at home. And then there was THIS! "Future Intentions" is the brain child of Anthony Thosh Collins who produced most of the album and Me. I released it on 2Pac's birthday to signify a rebirth of sorts not only for myself and my brother, but to all the people who support me. In the last 2 years since I've disappeared from the poetry stage, I've

written over 100 songs. Recorded bout half of them already.

(gotta go for now.. but I'll finish this later... I promise)
