As if the family weren't busy enough, son
Michael (brother of DJ phenom
Madlib, son of soul singer
Otis Jackson, Sr., and nephew of jazz trumpeter
Jon Faddis) also decided to try his hand in the music world. Nicknamed
Oh No the Mischievous Rebel by
Lootpack MC
Wildchild, the youngest
Jackson soon shortened his name to simply "
Oh No." Hooked on DJing and rapping since age 11,
Oh No would practice making beats during breaks at work. The hard effort paid off when
Oh No recorded his first singles with Stones Throw and Groove Attack and started producing for
Medaphoar,
Aloe Blacc, and
Murs. His solo album
The Disrupt, for which
Oh No both produced and MCed, was released in 2004, and two years later
Exodus into Unheard Rhymes, which took its beats from the
Galt MacDermot (composer of Hair) catalog, came out. In 2007, after exploring the psychedelic sounds of Turkey, Greece, Lebanon, and Italy,
Oh No issued the beat record
Dr. No's Oxperiment. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide
