Gyasi Kamau & Ohbliv ~ OhblivioUS (Video)

Shootings of youth have become the norm for Chicago news. Chicago rapper Gyasi Kamau, producer Ohbliv and hiphop blogger @Rap_Pages, shine a light on the ongoing Chicago violence.

"OhblivioUS" begins with a nod to JFK's iconic "Ask not what you can do for your country" speech and concludes with singing reminiscent of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On". Gyasi Kamau provides commentary and asks the questions we all wonder when we catch wind of the Windy City violence using a poetic flow laced with internal rhyme. Ohbliv's soulful production combined with newsroom visuals make "OhblivioUS" more than just a music video - its a public service announcement.
