Our first meeting with Outasight took place in 2009, when he freestyled for RubyHornet on the street somewhere in downtown Austin. Since that time, the Yonkers-born Outasight has upped his visibility, and after the release of his LRG sponsored EP, "Further", he inked a record deal with Warner Bros Records. Beyond the EP, LRG also cast Outasight in their Winter 2010 lookbook and further put their stamp on the emerging artist. Given the back story, Outasight became the perfect choice to kickoff the Closed Sessions and LRG series.
In between video shoots, and finishing his debut album, Outasight came to the windy city for the Closed Sessions experience. Documented entirely by RubyHornet.com, Outasight's trip included a photoshoot with Virgil Solis, a visit to WHPK's CTA Radio, a performance @SuperfunParty, and a Closed Session with Naledge of Kidz In The Hall at SoundScape Studios. Watch the documentary, and check out the photos to see the story behind "Turn It Up", your newest summer anthem featuring Outasight, Naledge, and production by DJ Babu (Beat Junkies/Dilated Peoples).
