Im from NY and I remember INFINITE LOOP, LOS, OMEGA RHED and the AMPHIBIANS killing shows and battles up here.
Man I remember LOS and Omega Rhed aka Big Ray aka Ray Gracie winning a two man battle in Brooklyn at Pratt Institute hosted by Substantial of QN5. There was the most serious competition in that battle, cats like Vast Aire (Canibal Ox), Punkinhead, Lil Science (Science of Life) and C-Rayz Wallz.
LOS and Ray just was killing something crazy.
I also caught Omega Rhed/Ray Gracie/Big Ray at Loins Den, Nuyorican Poets Cafe in NYC and 5 Spot in BK and he killed every performance, for sure one of the nicest MC’s to bless a mic.
You just don’t see cats like that, truly special.

Where are all these guys at?
What are they working on?
Somebody should get a show with these guys reppin for DC and true hip hop.
