The Overview Effect

Jermiside & The Expert

2022

Sometimes you need to look to the past as much as the future. The Overview Effect by emcee-producer duo Jermiside & The Expert is a vast musical collage of psychedelic soundscapes merged with hip hop’s golden age. A socially conscious psychedelic hip-hop album inspired by Marvin Gaye’s narrative on ‘What’s Going On’ mixed with tripped-out beats reminiscent of Edan’s ‘Beauty & The Beat.’

“People sense that’ something’s wrong, but they’re still struggling to go back and find out what the real roots of the problem are. and i think what we need to come to is a realization that it’s not just fixing and economic or political system, but it’s a basic worldview, the basic understanding of who we are that’s at stake.” – Jermiside
