Having cut his teeth in Jamaican clubs, O.C. Roberts learned the importance of versatility early in his career. He shows his willingness to try different things on "Drunk on Sickness" and "Let’s Get Crazy".
The songs were released in March and April, respectively. They are produced by the singer’s OCR Music label.
"Let’s Get Crazy" is a techno stomper geared at party animals. On "Drunk On Sickness", Roberts addresses global crime and political greed.
“Its very important for me to show my fans my funny vocal talent. I’m not stuck in one genre; when I was performing in the nightclubs back then I sing all types of genres and my fans love it, so I decide to give them a little more of OC Roberts,” said the Chicago-based artist.
Roberts started singing in his native Kingston, Jamaica with The Mighty Titans Band at Bohemia nightclub. That venue was a popular hangout for artists and musicians during the 1970s.
Drummer for that band was Glen Washington, who later found fame as a vocalist.
Roberts has lived in Chicago for over 25 years, working as a Disc Jockey on public radio and emcee for reggae artists performing in the Windy City. He resumed his vocal career 15 years ago and has released several songs as well as an EP, "O.C. Roberts And Friends".
