OMA

OMA (oh em ay) is a Manchester-based hip-hop cover band consisting of Chris Larcombe (guitar) Corben Lamb (keys, production), James Harper (bass) and Sam Heeley (drums). The group initially covered a few dream-pop hits, but due to their undeniable talent for the genre, they are now entirely focused on iconic hip-hop tracks. By reinterpreting the category classics, OMA has established itself and drawn attention from fans on popular platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Their debut record, Bread ’n’ Butter, shows that exactly with a mix of hip-hop iconic artists, including Nas, 2Pac, MF DOOM, Ice Cube, A Tribe Called Quest and more. With this range of covers, OMA brings us a swift and charming 40-minute run of some sick-ass tunes — One of the best ways you can pay tribute to hip-hop.
