Omari Alltimer continues to build on his prolific run with The Lowmari Demos, Part 666: Co-Op Coup D’etat, a new album produced entirely by Salt Lake City, Utah-based producer Valley Lowe. Bringing together Alltimer’s observant writing and distinctive approach to the mic with Lowe’s textured, soulful production, the project finds the two working in natural sync. Despite the tongue-in-cheek ‘demos’ framing, there’s a clear sense of intention behind the music, with Alltimer approaching each track with the confidence and ease of an emcee who knows exactly what he wants to do.
Opening with “Armadillo Roadkill,” the album immediately establishes its atmosphere through lush instrumentation and rich, infectious basslines, giving Alltimer plenty of room to weave together sharp imagery and tightly constructed flows. “Carpe Diem” maintains a similarly laid-back feel, pairing an airy instrumental with cleverly written lines, while “Black Jesus,” featuring 97otis, draws on warm samples and organic percussion to create a backdrop for two detailed, measured performances. Elsewhere, “Darker” leans into smoky jazz textures without losing its uplifting character, and “Do It Up” brings a more stripped-back, nostalgic sound built around guitar loops and steady rhythms. Alltimer’s writing takes a more reflective turn on “Tables,” where heartfelt verses meet a glowing, soulful instrumental. “Thank Me,” featuring Fuzhjin, shifts toward lo-fi textures, making room for compelling storytelling and motivational bars, before “Symphony” closes things out alongside Boot Raymond with a hazy, soulful production and emotive performances.
Describing the project, Alltimer draws comparisons to the energy of the And 1 Mixtape series and the dynamic playmaking of Jason Williams and Randy Moss, capturing the loose, entertaining spirit that runs throughout the record. His point is simple: a project doesn’t have to take itself too seriously to be taken seriously. Built around the classic one-emcee, one-producer format, The Lowmari Demos, Part 666: Co-Op Coup D’etat is as much about the chemistry between Alltimer and Lowe as it is about the individual performances. It’s a record that leaves room for technical ability, personality, and a bit of fun to coexist, offering another strong entry in Alltimer’s steadily expanding catalog.
