Ovrkast STRIKING new music
East Oakland artist and producer Ovrkast is gearing up for a major musical moment, set to drop his highly anticipated new album STRIKING on October 9th. Released through the Brooklyn-based imprint three times LOUDER, the project promises to be a dynamic and expansive exploration of his signature sound.
This new 12-track collection builds directly upon the success of his previous work, standing as the follow-up to his breakthrough 2025 project, While The Iron Is Hot. The momentum is already building, having been preceded by popular singles such as Wata (featuring Niontay), Play This, and PANE (featuring Self Proclaimed Narcissist).
The sound of STRIKING is rich and layered, drawing heavily from classic musical structures while maintaining a distinctly modern edge. Ovrkast infuses his production with a jazz-influenced, sample-heavy soundcore that gives the music a sophisticated, sample-rich depth.
For the inspiration behind the new work, Ovrkast channels the energy of heavyweight hip-hop history. The 12-track album pulls heavy inspiration from iconic tracks like Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN and Jay-Z’s 4:44, weaving these powerful references into his unique sonic tapestry.
The combination of classic musical reverence and modern hip-hop influence ensures that STRIKING offers listeners a compelling journey—a sophisticated and sample-heavy experience from East Oakland. Get ready for a powerful new addition to the music landscape this October.
