OH NO



His real name is Michael Jackson, and despite not being related to the moonwalking king of pop, he does have a successful sibling in the industry - producer and rapper Madlib, aka Otis Jackson Jr, whose bizarre recordings as Quasimoto, Yesterdays New Quintet and Madvillain have all earned him much respect and notoriety in smoky cars, bedrooms and backroom jams the world over. Don't get it twisted though, blood may be thicker than water, but it doesn't define the mood and feel of your jams - Oh No's stuttering, bleeped out flips have formed the backdrop to many an underground club anthem for cats like Declaime, Cornbread, or his friend Roc C, whilst his offstage antics continually suggest his moniker is truly appropriate.
