Demrick – Ooowee [Album Stream]

Demrick’s new LP “Ooowee” keeps the beats minimal and the pen maximal.

“Ooowee” is all muscle, no filler—14 tracks in 33 minutes that put writing, cadence, and small production choices front and center.

He’s said he wanted “minimalistic beats and just bars”—records that reflect where he’s at, not just what moves a playlist. That’s exactly what you get: tight drums, clean loops, and pockets that make every line feel like a decision. The aesthetic comes from one team on the boards: theundefeated.wav (Austin Sexton & OT), who handle the album top to bottom, so the sound stays cohesive.

Cameos are precise and purposeful. B-Real slides into “Fried Chicken Friday” like a late-verse jolt, Xzibit locks in on “Quarter Key,” K.A.A.N. pushes the tempo on “Tina Turner,” and VU pops up where the energy spikes (“Espolòn Freestyle,” “9 Outta 10 / Canary Yellow”). Even the left-field collab “Tonya Harding” adds color without breaking the album’s silhouette.

“Ooowee” moves fast but never feels rushed. Early cuts (“Clark Kent Rollie Pack,” “Chef Boy R De”) set the pace; mid-album records stretch the palette with quick beat switch vibes and interlude-length resets (“Bee Pollen” at 1:14). The closing run (“Croutons & Lettuce,” title track “Ooowee”) lands like a victory lap—same discipline, slightly warmer glow.

The project trims the fat and lets the pen breathe. If you want sharp writing over purpose-built beats—with features that elevate instead of distract—press play and let it run front to back.
