Sleep Of Oldominion / Hesitation Wounds

Strange Famous

BACK IN STOCK!!! SLEEP (CHRIS TAFOYA) grew up in the old-school Mexican community of Farmington, NM. By the age of 9 he was writing and performing his own raps. Co-founder the OLDOMINION CREW, a conglomerate of hip hop artists based out of the Pacific Northwest, Sleep and his people have been putting it down for Seattle and Portland for the past decade. Sleep first made a name for himself with his lighting-quick delivery and dominant stage presence, but after releasing two solo albums (Riot by Candlelight, Christopher) it was the strength of his songwriting that earned him a devout following in the underground scene. Hesitation Wounds features guest appearances by DEL THE FUNKY HOMOSAPIEN and GRAYSKUL, and boasts the production credits of REANIMATOR, ZEBULON DAK and SMOKE. The album contains a mix of samples, live instrumentation, and a myriad of styles that all assist in the storytelling of a lifelong hip hop veteran who has much more to offer the game than brag raps. This is real life in all its complexities, compressed into thirteen solid tracks, and delivered in a way that only Sleep could do. No Exports Outside of The USA.
