Amir Obe

Drake associate Amir Obe playing 2 Brooklyn shows, releasing an EP

Brooklyn-via-Detroit rapper/producer Amir Obè, who produced Drake’s “Star67,” also makes auto-tuned sing-rap on his own that isn’t too far removed from what Drake does. He recently put out the 11-track album/mixtape Happening In The Grey Area, which featured contributions from members of Drake’s OVO team, PARTYNEXTDOOR and WondaGurl. He’s also set to follow that with a new EP called Won’t Find Love in the Hills this week. You can check out “Before the Vomit” off that EP and a full stream of Grey Area, below. A recently-released video for “The Only” / “VIP” off Grey Area is below too.

Amir plays his first two headlining shows in Brooklyn on April 5 and 6 at Baby’s All Right, both with Shake and Gashi. Night one is sold out, but tickets for night two are available.
