Richard Def and the Mos Pryors (named for Mos
Def and Richard
Pryor) was a math rock band from Chicago,
Illinois, best known as one of
Nnamdi Ogbonnaya’s
earlier projects. The band only ever released one single and one LP. The latter
of these was reissued by the now-defunct Swerp Records
(also responsible for releases by some of Nnamdi
Ogbonnaya’s other projects,
as well as Ratboys’s demo EP) in
, not long after the album was originally
self-released by the band on their bandcamp page.
The music of Richard Def and the Mos Pryors is riff-driven and dynamic
Ogbonnaya](https://nnamdiogbonnaya.bandcamp.com/)’s unique and varied
vocal stylings. The music is playful, with a punk energy
that is constantly shifting (due to the influence of math rock) and never gets boring. Highly recommended for math rock
fans and fans of Nnamdi
Ogbonnaya’s other music.
