Artist: Oshy
Genre: R&B/Soul
Album Title: Da Life of A Singer

Artists Stats: Oshy, which means "The Best Comes" in Cherokee Indian, is not the R&B crooner's real name, his birth name is Thomas Byrd. Oshy grew up in Harlem, NY. His father was a member of the R&B group "Total Climax." Oshy learned the art of singing and songwriting by emulating his father. Oshy is signed to Dream Sound Records.

Album Assessment:
The 15 Track offering is definitely a nice piece of work for all to enjoy. For the men out there that want to put their girl in the mood, Oshy has helped you with this EP. And for the ladies you will thoroughly enjoy Oshy, in his entire splendor. With a range that varies from song to song this album will not leave you disappointed. Some stand out tracks, “Enuff Love” a nice slow jam that is definitely satisfying and is like candy for the ears. The best collaboration track goes to Teffany Malonsome, with the song “I was Wrong” a great blend of her and Oshy’s voice make the song a true standout. Some short falls are “Let’s Get It In,” although Oshy shines, the rapper on the track, Skeem, sounds like an imitation Fifty Cent and the imitation continues on “Come Here Wit It,” another good song, but this time the same MC sounds like he is trying to be part of Dip-Set.

The album as a whole is really nice on your ears. The fact that Oshy either wrote or co-wrote every track on the album; and he’s easy on the eyes to boot, will solidify not only why he’s a great singer but why we also need to know about his life.
