Odd Future cohort Domo Genesis has teased listeners that he would release both a new mixtape and a debut solo studio album before the end of the year. We can at least confirm one of these. On November 5, Genesis will pop out Under the Influence 2, a mixtape that follows up the first volume of the series, which dropped in 2011. The mixtape features a cover photo that Domo describes as “me and my mom when we were really poor, my face isn’t showing, but she still smiles. It’s like a symbol of perseverance in a way to me…that it’s about more than money and that I was already happy before it.”
Genesis has stayed busy this year, appearing on two standouts from the Freddie Gibbs/Madlib massacre that was Piñata, as well as featuring on newer records from Step Brothers and Dilated Peoples. Under the Influence 2 will be available direct from the Odd Future website. Until that rolls out, we’ve got “STRICTLY4MYNIGGAZ” for you to stream below.
