DreamVille emcee and rapper Omen, not to be confused with the other producer Omen, or ‘70s classic horror movie The Omen, is back on our pages after a strong debut in the form of Forever, this time offering up a little Prayer for his city, and all those struggling in cities rife with violence and poverty everywhere. Omen’s work behind the boards consists of a distinctly Metallica-sounding guitar intro which is quickly flipped into a driving, “goddamn” vocal sample based, percussively snapping hip-hop joint’s power is in its relative simplistic. On the mic the Chicago native doesn’t hesitate to delve deeply into the harsh conditions that have effected his life, and the lives of those around him: “We living next door to boarded houses / on the porch lounging / households got divorced spouses.” With lyrics like that, it’s only a matter of time before Omen sheds the “just a producer” label. With two releases now under his belt, it’s clear that Omen has some major ambitions for his upcoming project Afraid of Heights. Hopefully our prayers will be answered and Heights will receive a release date soon.

Omen did a great job on that guitar lead production as well as the lyrics. I like this one.

Good song, it has a message to it and it's cool to see him produce his own track too.

Personally, I feel like Omen is a much better producer than he is an emcee. That is not to say I don't respect his talents on the mic, but I hear other artists in my head rapping over this beat and stop to think how much better it could be. As he grows into a more polished and complete artist, this could change. He has the talent, though....

Omen's talent as a producer is evident on this track, but he needs work as an Emcee. I like the guitar riff because it really adds heart and soul to the track, but I feel like Omen could have done alot more with track, considering the quality of the production. He seems to lack the emotion needed for a beat like this. I'd still like to hear more from him nonetheless.

The words moved me, the delivery really didn't. I think the music is solid and it takes me back to when Pac made socially conscious music w/ ear catching guitar samples in the background.
