Omarion has released a mixtape produced by DJ Drama and entitled The Awakening, featuring new rap beats and guest appearances by rap standards like Lil Wayne, Method Man and YG. The Awakening is Omarion’s first mixtape, although he’s been making music since he was just five years old.

Exploring the Mixtape Concept

Omarion, who has made a name on the R&B scene, says that the mixtape concept is one he could never get comfortable with. Characterizing himself as being “opposed” to making mixtapes, he says he’s now rethought the whole idea and thinks that mixtapes can represent a significant opportunity. He now says that he knows that the most successful musicians do more than sing, and the mixtape is a way to explore the wide range of talents today’s entertainers must have.

Mixtapes are a great way to break into a business, start or restart a career or explore a different musical genre. For musicians who have made a name for themselves in one type of music, a mixtape is a great way to break out.
