OMSB is a proficient and multifaceted Japanese artist known for his influential presence in the hip-hop music scene. His real name is OMSB-SHIT, and over the years, he has made a significant impact as a beatmaker, producer, and rapper. OMSB's music is characterized by its unique blend of classic boom bap styles with a modern and often experimental twist, showcasing his ability to push the boundaries of the genre while maintaining an authentic hip-hop essence. His sound is a rich tapestry of head-nodding beats, intricate sampling, and a distinctive use of synthesizers that often results in atmospheric and emotionally charged productions.
