Omniscience “Raw Factor”

First off, Shout out to Dope Folk records another great spot for rare vinyl hunters to pick up a few gems. I stumbled upon them when I was looking for a rare vinyl release from a north carolina emcee from 1995 named Omniscience. The EP I am looking for is called the Funky one liner and I found the Raw factor which reminds me why this guys music is sought after. He was a punchline heavyweight back in the days that went largely unheard and thus unsung. Check out this discription of his career from Werner Von Wallenrod.

“Ok, let me start with a quick run-down of who Omniscence[sic – that’s how he spells it] is for those who don’t know. He’s a dope, punch-line oriented MC who debuted on a compilation 1990 called Back To the Lab. He put out a nice underground EP called The Funky Oneliner, which got him signed to East/West Records. They put out two singles (and featured him on the IllStyle Live! comp), one of which got rhyme of the month in The Source; but they wound up dumping most of their hip-hop acts (including artists like SuperNatural, LinQue and 8-Off) before releasing his album, The Raw Factor. Omniscence quit the game, and The Raw Factor has been one of the most sought-after unreleased albums since.”

Below I am posting the raw factor which is going to the limited release of the track by Dope Folk records. They are only pressing 350 copies so go grab one. Old school heads ENJOY!
