About the Artist

“Suicide Prevention”, the first official release from Chicago’s own OuterLimitz. The collective masterfully constructed a sound that transcends the traditional “boom boom bap, tick tick tick snare” format. Where others have boasted "unique", OuterLimitz delivers. Silence's production has confronted the monotonous headlong, leaving no room for excuses, just rhyme and reason. Recycled song structure has been replaced with stunning soundscapes and passionate deliveries. The energy brought forth from this talented trio is something that hip hop has been missing. OuterLimitz is a return to the originality and fire that both hip hop and the thinking world have been dying for. The flawlessly designed production serves as the perfect canvass for the emcees to topple topics ranging the complete spectrum of consciousness. OuterLimitz is hip hop's wake up call, the much needed challenge to not only think outside of your box, but to be outside of your box. OuterLimitz. Qwa, He.llsent and Silence bring change. And since anything that doesn’t change is dead.... Are you ready for a world where death doesn’t exist? Welcome to the OuterLimitz. Recorded and conceptualized over the last year and a half, this project will open doors for themselves and other like-minded individuals. OuterLimitz is known for their work on Chicago’s Frontline Records as a crew and as solo artists, and have toured the US extensively with acts such as Typical Cats, Living Legends and Visionaries. Qwa (aka Qwazaar) is also a member of Typical Cats, whose 2 releases on Galapagos4 have been certified as underground classics. He also released a solo album, “Walk Thru Walls”, in 2001. Album to be released on Galapagos4, August 30 2005 Mixed by The Grouch from Living Legends Mastered by Evren Goknar @ Capitol Records Mastering

Despite the hyperbolic description, Outerlimitz really are unique, apocalyptic visionaries in the Chicago underground hip-hop scene. Qwazaar is without a doubt the stand-out voice in this project and in all actuality, he is the best emcee associated with the Galapagos 4 indy label. The dark and heavy production of Silence in combination with the hard hitting and raw vocals of Qwa and He.llsent make this little known gem well worth a look. Its been about 6 years since a Qwazaar solo, we probably should hope for a sophomore release.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is not "safe" hip hop, October 3, 2005

If you are looking for something new, something crazy and something that will allow you listen all the way through and ENJOY yourself doing it- then "Suicide Prevention" is something FOR YOU! If you love and appreciate hip hop then you should really dig this album, but remember, these guys are not ladi-dadi at all, be ready for some real and raw "musicscapes" that you can MOVE to. If you are not a fan of hip hop and you listen to experiemental, rock, alternative, goth, ska or whatever then you too may actually like this album and find it's uniqueness inspiring. This album transcends and expands today's typical boundaries. You must have this in your collection.
