Hip-hop duo Alpha Omega will be in Chilliwack Nov. 19 promoting their latest EP, 'The Outbreak', set to be released Nov. 25.
Alpha Omega is a new hip-hop group featuring Swollen Members' Prevail and Battle Axe Warriors' Neph. 'The Outbreak' is the final EP in their trilogy.
"I am so proud of the latest Alpha Omega EP, ‘The Outbreak’. It's heavy on many fronts, musically and vocally I feel we have made great strides as we push each other creatively,” said Prevail.
“Neph and I began this thematic trilogy with ‘The Concept’ and ‘The Strain’, all featuring original anime style artwork by Canadian illustrator Paul Lavalee. The combination of the graphics and the unique sound, thanks in large part to producer Tyler Durden, set Alpha Omega apart from the very jump. This series of EPs has set the marker for our upcoming recording sessions for next year’s full length album, which will feature live instrumentation and multiple cross collabs with other emcees and vocalists taking Alpha Omega to an even further level of artistry."
