December Release: New Year Revolution


Mr. Ozwald: New Year Revolution - The Yearbook (December Release)


What a ride. Feels pretty good to make it through the year and create an album that's this versatile. I gotta say I'm happy with each and every record I put out and equally pleased with this final release. I had a lot of fun making this track, and decided to end off with a fun hip-hop record... basically showcasing how i'm better than the rest of the game, humbley of course :)

'09 is gonna be a big year.

November Release: A Night to Remember


Mr. Ozwald: A Night to Remember - The Yearbook (November Release)


Recently my boy Bruno Beats and I started a production duo called the Sonic Boyz and we've been building up a sick catalogue of hip-hop, r&b, and electronic beats. Basically we're super producers. The best that ever lived... and equally humble about it :)

Anyway, the stuff we've been doing is pretty unique so we figured it would be a good idea to make a track for the yearbook album. Long story short, we got in the studio and made a hot record. Bruno played some guitar, I started singing A Night to Remember... and the rest is history. Not sure where the idea came from, but music is a vibe and I've learned to just roll with it.

Sonic Booooooyyyyyyyz!

btw add us... we need friends http://www.myspace.com/thesonicboyz

Octoberr Release: The Holy Ghost


Mr. Ozwald: The Holy Ghost - The Yearbook (October Release)


Over the past year I've been through a lot. Going through a number of different trials, my faith has been tested in many ways, but it has ultimately strengthened my relationship with God and given me a better understanding of the world.

There's no doubt I have a much clearer perspective on things and a fresh outlook on life. Having gotten to know the true message of Jesus, I felt compelled to make this song. This track wasn't made for Christians [although I'm sure they'll dig it :)] but rather those who haven't come to know Christ yet or understand everything He has to offer.

This joint is definitely soulful and I wanted to make sure I grabbed people's attention. To do so, I hired actor Michael McManus to read some very powerful scripture right from the Bible before each of my verses... and it sounds amazing. Many people have their own thoughts and opinions about the Bible, but have never actually picked it up and read it for themselves. With that being said, I felt compelled to share the Word of God with people and blessed to be able to do it through music. Enjoy.

September Release: American Dream


Mr. Ozwald: American Dream - The Yearbook (September Release)

This was a fun record to make. I got in touch with my old friend David Veslocki from West Hartford (who I've known since the 4th grade) and it turns out after all these years, he's still playing the guitar. Dave plays like Jimi Hendrix with a masters from Yale in guitar.

Anyway, I got him in the studio and it was a blast... with all the guitar on this record it had a very American vibe to it, so I decided to roll with it and write about, well, the American Dream.

I guess the timing is pretty good with the election coming up and all, and I am very proud to be an American regardless of how the rest of the world may view us. Who knows, maybe this will get a little American pride pumpin' through our veins again and encourage some patriotism.

Anyway, enjoy the record.

July and August Releases...

So, everyone has been asking me where the July record is... Last month my song "Electrofly" reached 2 on the college radio charts and drew some attention from some established producers. I usually (actually, always) produce all the beats on my albums.... but when the Kickdrums reached out to me, I felt this would be a great opportunity to get a fresh sound and work with some talented cats. Right now the record is pretty much done, they're just finishing mixing the record... so I'll have that ready for you guys in a couple days.


Mr. Ozwald: Magic - The Yearbook (July Release)

Also, right around the same time the Kickdrums got at me, my man Rick Steel over at The Inc. got in touch and we decided to do a collab as well. Rick has taught me a lot and helped me step my production game up a few notches over the last year and I feel blessed to get a beat from him. Rick, I killed this one, you'll be happy with it.

Mr. Ozwald: Under The Gun - The Yearbook (August Release)

Anyway I really feel blessed to get production from such established producers in the game and release two, ridiculous records for you all... both VERY different in sound. The artwork is up on the page, I'll be releasing these songs at the same time so you wont have to wait much longer. Thanks for your patience and suport everyone!!
