OverDoz.
About OverDoz.
Hailing from Los Angeles, California; Overdoz. is a highly dynamic group consisting of rappers Joon and P aka Sleezy, singer Kent Jamz, and comedian Cream. The group were childhood friends, all growing up in Gardena. They made music together when they were younger, but it wasn’t until 2008 that they formed an official group. Kent James and Sleezy bumped into each other while making music at the same studio in LA. Joon and Cream were subsequently incorporated into the group and OD began making music together.
Overdoz. is loopy and psychedelic; they often talk about smoking tons. What sets them apart is their unique group structure, which is one that allows to experiment with many concepts and ideas.
Having Cream, the comedian, on the team is a fresh spin on an old idea. Other artists have had comedians integrated into their albums before, such as Dr.Dre with Eddie Griffin on “Ed-Ucation.” Here, Cream is a real part of the whole process, and provides a lot of comic relief on OD’s mixtapes.
It wasn’t until 2011, with the release of Live For, Die For, that OD truly broke onto the music scene, starting in California and moving their way east. It is said that they were already in the motion of signing with RCA Records around the time they released Boom in 2013.
