After showcasing his production genius lacing tracks for MC’s such as Qwel, Offwhyte, Mars Ill & Sage Francis (on the “Makeshift Patriot” EP), it was a logical step for Chicago DJ Meaty Ogre to create his own spawn. Meaty’s knowledge & deep appreciation of music has enabled him to bust through the usual limitations of the “production album” formula and construct a cohesive album. “Leo vs. Pisces” is a work of beauty, melding Meaty’s well-crafted productions, his own colorful vocal tracks & cuts with some of Chicago’s finest rappers including Offwhyte & Typical Cats’ Qwel & Denizen Kane. New talent from the G4 roster is also debuted here, as Robust, Mestizo & Rift Napalm deliver previews of their respective upcoming solo albums on Galapagos4.
Meaty Ogre is known in the beatmaking/beatdigging community as an avid vinyl collector and historian. He has gained critical acclaim for his limited & sought after 7-inch instrumental releases on Chicago’s Heardrums Records, now on their 5th release. He is also slated for an upcoming 7-inch release on Dante Carfagna’s noted Memphix label under the pseudonym Mickey Ritter.
“Leo vs. Pisces” is being released as a full length CD & 2 separate LPs, Vol. 1 with the vocal tracks from the album, and Vol. 2 with the beats & instrumental tracks from the album. There is also a limited 7-inch being released in conjunction with the album containing an instrumental version of one of the album’s vocal tracks and an exclusive b-side.
