Release info :
On his third studio album, Offwhyte offers a soundscape filled with charismatic philosophies and cogent imagery. "Mainstay" provides a magnificent listening experience for the vibe-driven style enthusiast and lyrical junkie alike. Boasting a beautifully eclectic range of songs and sounds, the album is a breath of fresh air in this era of identity crisis and unwarranted braggadocio.

Since its inception in 1999, Offwhyte has been a mainstay of the Galapagos4 empire. A co-founder of the label, Offwhyte set things in motion with Galapagos4's first full-length release, "Squints by Offwhyte". Since then, he has played a major part in the label's operations - both behind the scenes and behind the mic, releasing "The Fifth Sun" LP in 2002 and the controversial "Bow To The Sceptor" EP in 2004.

Throughout it all, Offwhyte has been a mainstay of underground originality and sly wordplay. With this new release he personifies this notion. The artist has tapped into a new grittier sound with tracks like "GWARN!" and "Whimsical", while never compromising his mellower soul ballads like "The Metropolitan People". The album also packs plenty of surprises, including a few tracks with subtle reggae influences, and a storytelling track about his grandfather, "Wise Conscience". A highly-anticipated album, "Mainstay" finally emerges on November 13, 2007. With 15 tracks and almost an hour of music, the project flaunts a fluidity that transforms a collection of great songs into a monumental album.

After a 2 year hiatus, a core member of Galapagos4's West Coast operation, MESTIZO, is back with his official homecoming album. “Dream State” is MESTIZO's interpretation of his native land of California, which is a dream world in itself, filled with eccentric beings entranced in a dream state.

This album is entirely produced by the new super duo Julian Code, made up of Sean Julian (best known for the highly successful Psych Rock LP "Trap Door” on Groove Merchant Records) and DJ Morse Code, the San Francisco native better known for his club monster DJ status as part of the Super Friends crew. DJ Morse Code has also been caught DJing side by side with DJ AM, Steve Aoki, A-TRAK and The RUB DJ's to name a few, but here he is letting the world in on his gritty 12-bit SP-1200 production style.

MESTIZO has gained tremendous respect from his peers and elders alike as a passionate writer, amazing performer, and stern leader of the next generation of artist. Lyrically, MESTIZO teamed up with JOE DUBBS, ISAIAH, QWEL, 2MEX AND MURS and although, DREAM STATE is an album that needed no features, each individual that contributed to the album gladly added to its magnificence. Together they have created classic duets in honor of the golden state sound. MESTIZO embodies the true sound and style of a California heavy weight and is sure be a mogul to many and this album the future blueprint of how the West Coast Rocks.

The Big Picture. Get it? It’s a concept easy enough for anyone to understand, but most never stop to think about it. It’s that simple yet all-encompassing feeling you get when you finally figure it all out. It’s putting in that time and work to get where you need to be. It’s showing love and respect in order to get love and respect. El Foto Grande.

Robust has captured that snapshot clear as day in this collaboration with one of the hottest producers on the LA scene, Mike Gao, who co-produced the album alongside newcomer Nick Sena. It’s the official sophomore solo release from Robust, whose 2004 debut album “Potholes In Our Molecules” (Galapagos4) raised eyebrows worldwide with it’s hard-hitting eclectic beats and intense rhymes. This record finds Robust more mature and seeing straight-forward, speaking to the masses that are eager to listen. The beats provide a diverse backdrop for Robust to focus his animated rhymes on, and the team delivers with deliberate clarity.
