Originally scheduled to drop on Elektra Records way back in March 1996, The Raw Factor by North Carolina native Omniscence is one of the last of the unreleased mid-90's albums to see the light of day. Despite being awarded The Source's coveted 'Hip Hop Quotable' and dropping two well received singles ('Amasin' and 'Touch Y'all'), record label politics meant the full-length Raw Factor album war never released and fans were left wondering what might have been.

More than eighteen years later, The Raw Factor is finally being released on CD. Featuring punchline-driven lyrics from Omniscence delivered in his unmistakable cadence, and backed by head-nodding production from Fanatic (also known for producing Notorious BIG, Lil' Kim etc), the album is a must-own for fans of 90's hip hop. The 18-track CD features liner notes about the recording of the album, and also includes all 4 songs from Omniscence's 1993 random rap grail The Funky One Liner EP, available here on CD for the first and only time.
