Meet Outasight. Born and raised in Yonkers, New York, Outasight (Richard Andrew) was brought up by a mother who decorated the walls with records and a father who was always playing the guitar. “Constantly moving from apartment to apartment never really gave me a true sense of home, but I always found comfort in music,” says the rapper/singer. He cites his influences as: Stevie Wonder, Mos Def, Marvin Gaye and The Beetles.
Currently an emerging talent in the hip-hop scene (he has opened for artists such as Me’Shell Ndegeocello and Dead Prez), you should definitely look out for more of his music in the future..

NOTHIN NEW…I CAN SEE HIM MAKING THE COFFEE SHOPPE AND MUSIC FESITVAL CIRCUITS (ALA SXSW) BUT HE’S GOTTA DO A WHOLE LOT MORE, LIKE HOOK UP W/ A VERY ESTABLISHED NAME…
Ok Ok, I def. can get with this. I like his sound. Keep pushing this and you will go far. I want a trial cd first. But when his album is in stores I will def look out for it.
OUTASIGHT DEFINITELY DELIVERS GOOD MUSIC… LOVE THE SOUND AND HIS STYLE…. I’VE BEEN TO MANY OF HIS PERFORMANCES, ESPEICALLY AT SPUTNIK IN BROOKLYN, N.Y.
THE MAN IS SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST ARTIST OUT THERE!!
# 5 I hav New Amerykah and it is the buzness..Can’t stop listening to it..E.badu does it AGAIN..But this guy rite here is nice..i agree, a nice collabo with Lupe is forseen…
I’m really feeling this guy. He works heavy with upcoming myspace super producer Dante Lewis.Esq. There the new Pete Rock and CL, Guru and Primo, Kanye and common. They make Classics.
LMAO, you said that most of the people praising him are white but then you said that the people that don’t like him can “go to Hell”. By your own logic, I guess that you’re white. In 5 years, this dude will drop his neo-soul dreams and become a rocker. In 20 years he’ll have his own label.
I can definitely dig it. He has a point to pursuing this. Quitting his day job is by far not a fair assessment or statement. I’m muting that discordant side that could dissuade my congratulatory recognition of talent packaged in a blue eyed songstress. Nevertheless, a true talent to the genre;soul
Dead. The black/white issue again. Soul ain’t a black gene thing. It’s whether you grew up listening to it, or not. That’s it, done dada. Oh, and this guy sounds dope.
“Soul” has nothing to do with what you grew up listening to. “Soul” is a spirit, a spirit of creativity and expression that has been associated with black people due to our ability to create something out of what seems to be nothing. There’s a difference between a spirit and a genre of music. If you like dude’s music then you like his music, but spare me with the misappropriation and the “color doesn’t matter” nonsense.
Get this Shiite outta here….White people who do black music is no novelty. But he should not get a pass just because of his skin color. Check out some REAL Blue eyed soul like Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Bobby Caldwell, Michael Sembelo, Jon B, and to a lesser extent Robin Thicke..
Soul isn’t a black thing. It’s not what you grew up listening. It’s what you’re born with. I like his style a lot. I wasn’t expecting to like it but it’s nice. Good music is good music. There shouldn’t be white/black conflict. If it’s good its good. If it’s not its not.
john mayer? hahahaha. did u even listen to the music, obviously not. never heard john mayer wit a flow like that. plus creative new music is always needed. haters keep hatin while you fuel him to smash the scene….get em O
First and foremost – The Music…. It’s fresh, it’s smooth, it’s funky, I’m def lovin it BIG time.
Secondly, Who cares what “color” he is? Has anyone here ever heard of this thing called Evolution? We’re all related… we’re all family! But this isn’t a discussion board for racial debates… it’s a comment board where ya’ll can speak your peace about his music…
@ 54& Obviously I listened to the song and the first thing I heard was John Mayer , so what was your point ? lol @ John Mayer not having a flow like that . So he can’t sound like John Mayer because John doesn’t rap ? You’re as dumb as you half-assed sentence you replied with. Don’t get upset with me because I dont see anything special about him . If you want to praise him, do you . You worshipping ass bandwagon jumpers on here a pathetic .
@ 55 Are you bored ? I will compare if I see or hear a comparison . He sound alot like John Mayer ( while singing, for the slow learners) . Atleast have a point if you’re going to reply.
im feeling it…he fits into the whole,kanye,lupe,n.e.r.d style of music that im into these days…idk,im just feeling different stuff nowadays…if you dont know about it then i like it LOL!….neway he has a nice vibe
No biggie. I just failed to see how you could compare him to John Mayer when he is a rapper [You called him R&B..and he's not..]. You must not listen to John Mayer much. Maybe a similar version of Citizen Cope but not John Mayer LOL definitely not John.
OKAY!! he might get far. im liking it.
Tell my why I was on his myspace yesterday listening to that “Techinicolor” song. He is pretty good. I wasn’t expecting him to be this good.
WOW! Didn’t expect this nerd looking white boy to have some type of soul. Good stuff.
WOW!!! Dude’s got flavor! I like that joint. I can definitely see him and LUPE doing a joint. Keep it up bredren!!
Dude is talented. I can see him doing his thing and bringing a fresh face to the game. I liked that track.
Has anyone heard New Amerykah?
NOTHIN NEW…I CAN SEE HIM MAKING THE COFFEE SHOPPE AND MUSIC FESITVAL CIRCUITS (ALA SXSW) BUT HE’S GOTTA DO A WHOLE LOT MORE, LIKE HOOK UP W/ A VERY ESTABLISHED NAME…
IT’S OKAY, BUT NOT FEELIN THIS TRACK OVERALL…
not bad, actually pretty surprised…good song. Way to go CL looking out of the box for new music
THIS GUY IS OFF THE FUCKIN HOOK!! HE’S COMING WITH THE CREATIVITY AND THE GOOD VIBES. HIP HOP IS COMING BACK HALLELUJAH!! I LOVE IT!
@ MAYNE
YEAH, I GOTS…MY JOINT IS MASTER TEACHER, SHE CAME W/ THE PFUNK ON THAT ONE…ALSO FELLIN TELEPHONE, & THE HUMP!
CHECK CHECK^^^ *FEELIN*
its refreshing to hear some real music for a change……
LOVE IT.
Blue eyed soul. I could dig it. Something I could listen to on a Saturday morning cleaning up.
Its good. Not too bad for someone like him. He also sounds somewhat like Kanye West. Just saying though. Still, this is fresh music.
GOOD MORNING,GOOD EVENING AND DAMMIT GOODBYE!! OH AND GOOD LUCK WITH THAT SINGLE
Nope!
I wasn’t expecting to hear this out of this dude…I’m feeling this track. Now I want to hear what else he got!
Its different which I like but the song isnt that appealing, its not good enough to be a single.
He has a great voice though
Dead Prez let this dude open for them, lol? There goes their credibility. This dude sounds like a “hip hop soul” Eminem.
Alright! I like it a lot. His voice is there and music is there.
Ok Ok, I def. can get with this. I like his sound. Keep pushing this and you will go far. I want a trial cd first. But when his album is in stores I will def look out for it.
wow!
i liked it…usually i would stop it half way but i listened to it all the way
I am definitely feeling that one. Just looking at his picture you wouldn’t expect that. Gonna be on the look out for his album.
different game but great outcome!!!
diggn’ it!
Nothing I would buy!
OUTASIGHT DEFINITELY DELIVERS GOOD MUSIC… LOVE THE SOUND AND HIS STYLE…. I’VE BEEN TO MANY OF HIS PERFORMANCES, ESPEICALLY AT SPUTNIK IN BROOKLYN, N.Y.
THE MAN IS SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST ARTIST OUT THERE!!
KEEP MOVING FORWARD OU!!!
# 5 I hav New Amerykah and it is the buzness..Can’t stop listening to it..E.badu does it AGAIN..But this guy rite here is nice..i agree, a nice collabo with Lupe is forseen…
I don’t particularly like the song, but his voice is weird. It sounds a little bird like. Maybe its me.
I love the guy but people, take notes.
All the CL readers that praise this cat, most of them are white.
For all haters, please GTH.
Dude is fresh and mos def talented. I’ve been digging him every since I came across his page.
Does he remind anyone else of Slim Kid Tre from Pharcyde?
i like his style
He is Hot, licky licky lips.
I like it. Think I will check out some of his other stuff. But he should rethink his name or stick with Richard Andrew.
Feelin this beat and luvin this playas originality. Keep up the good work kid and keep bringin it.
nice… real nice…
GARBAGE!
Gotta admit it, the song is nice and his voice is dope, good singer good rapper. I’d take him over most of today’s mainstream rappers anyday!
I’m really feeling this guy. He works heavy with upcoming myspace super producer Dante Lewis.Esq. There the new Pete Rock and CL, Guru and Primo, Kanye and common. They make Classics.
REAL MUSIC….NUFF SAID
It’s aight.I give him credit.
im feelin it..then again im always feelin things different and new.
@29

My mind spoke, I didn’t write.
Dead. The black/white issue again. Soul ain’t a black gene thing. It’s whether you grew up listening to it, or not. That’s it, done dada. Oh, and this guy sounds dope.
I like it, I don’t know if its strong enough for a first single but it’s good better than all the other crap that’s out.
@44

LOL at JUDAH, don’t hurt ‘em too bad.
I can dig it!!!!

Coolness, i luv his dorky look, like u wouldn’t xpect this from him.
who did the production?! does anybody know!!
Soul isn’t a black thing. It’s not what you grew up listening. It’s what you’re born with. I like his style a lot. I wasn’t expecting to like it but it’s nice. Good music is good music. There shouldn’t be white/black conflict. If it’s good its good. If it’s not its not.
Im so over the ” great white R&B artist” nonsense . Nothing stands out about him .. Can we say John Mayer ?? .
john mayer? hahahaha. did u even listen to the music, obviously not. never heard john mayer wit a flow like that. plus creative new music is always needed. haters keep hatin while you fuel him to smash the scene….get em O
John Mayer doesn’t rap…stop with the comparisons..next thing you know someone going to say he sound like JT LOL
First and foremost – The Music…. It’s fresh, it’s smooth, it’s funky, I’m def lovin it BIG time.
Secondly, Who cares what “color” he is? Has anyone here ever heard of this thing called Evolution? We’re all related… we’re all family! But this isn’t a discussion board for racial debates… it’s a comment board where ya’ll can speak your peace about his music…
My peace: OUTASIGHT’S MUSIC IS DOPE.

Were did all these weird ass screen names come from? All these extra-brand new posters. The label hired like 25 people to post positive comments.
