Omar Wilson talks collaborating with DMX and his nomination for the 50th NAACP Image Awards for outstanding new artist on ”Sports and Hip-Hop with DJ Mad Max” on WSJU Radio at St. John’s University

     I want to thank my brother and CT's own RnB singer Omar Wilson for calling into my show last night on WSJU radio at St. John's University! He discussed his inspiration to write music and the artists he looked up to. He reminds me of Donny Hathaway, Aaron Hall, and K-CI. He was a performer in a group called Lost Souls, from North Carolina. He described what it's like being from Norwalk, CT as well as being a three time Apollo winner. He has opened up for artists such as Boyz II Men, Jagged Edge, and Justin Timberlake. He has many underground songs such as The Jungle, 100 Ways, and Ride. He collaborated with CT's own emcee Jahan Nostra on Living Your Life. He has a song with DMX called Faith as well as an upcoming remix of one of his songs coming soon with the Wu-Tang Clan's own chef Raekwon. He is a nominee for this year's 50th NAACP Image Awards for outstanding new artist and congratulations on that because that's a major accomplishment. As a native of CT, it's important to support our own and stop tearing each other down! We have a lot of real talented artists and we need to spread love, not hate! The time is now for us to grow and start making it! Omar Wilson's first debut album Living Legend drops on all music platforms this Friday! Go listen, purchase, and support it! Omar is one of many artists from CT putting us on the map! Big things are coming for you my bro! Follow Omar Wilson on Instagram: @omarwilson1 and Twitter: @omarwilson.
