Album Notes

UPSET (aka JAMAL OSBORNE), 25 years old and born and raised in L.A., has hit the scene hard in 2003 with his own brand and style of music. He is a lyrical genius who is able to say whatever comes to his soul-searching mind with tremendous flair and taste, which makes him stand out from the vast majority of rappers today. UPSET also comes from a highly pedigreed musical background. His father, BILLY OSBORNE, an exclusive songwriter for the late great Ray Charles for over 10 years, who recently performed and toured with a Ray Charles tribute show, was the former bandleader for the hit '80s R&B group L.T.D. His uncle, JEFFREY OSBORNE, former lead singer for L.T.D., went on to international fame as a solo artist after leaving the group. With music so deep in his veins, UPSET has managed to align himself with veteran talent ZANE GREY, an accomplished songwriter and recording artist, whose many chart-topping songs and gold records include the '80s smash hit "Back in Love Again", which he co-wrote for L.T.D.

UPSET: Under Pressure Seeing Every Thing is UPSET's first CD, which he co- produced with ZANE GREY, along with invaluable assistance from songwriters JACKIE MORRISETTE and BILLY OSBORNE, who were also on board as Associate Producers. UPSET is currently working with the same team on his second CD, due out in the near future, which promises to be just as hard-hitting and inventive, with even more thought-provoking and original words of wisdom from the tightest rap lyricist to come along in the New Millennium.

SO SIT BACK, RELAX, AND ENJOY BEING UPSET BY UPSET!!!
