With his first solo release in two decades, Dead Ott proves that time is no enemy to artistry. The single “Washed Out” sets a reflective yet unyielding tone as the opening chapter of his long-awaited album, Hello Again. A blend of laidback beats and incisive lyrics, the track showcases Dead Ott’s ability to revisit his roots while keeping his edge intact. The accompanying music video is a nostalgic tribute, blending snapshots of the rapper’s formative years with the poignant introspection of his lyrics.

Dead Ott’s journey to Hello Again has been a winding one. A stalwart of the UK Hip-Hop scene, the Oxford-based MC and producer initially embarked on this project in 2018 as a Styxmen EP. Life, however, had other plans, and the album was shelved when he shifted his focus to production. Now, reinvigorated and inspired, Dead Ott delivers a deeply personal body of work spanning themes of fatherhood, changing relationships, and global challenges. The album also features long-time collaborator Uncle Harry and introduces Denver Mike, a legendary figure among UK Hip-Hop enthusiasts.
