Ollie Twist, otherwise known as "Nucleus", spearheaded the Rhyme Skeme with best friend and business partner Shaun DoobE in June of 1998. Twist's recording abilities made him the perfect candidate for producer with his keyboard/guitar playing skills. Since then Twist and the Rhyme Skeme have prolifically released over 20 full length albums that have helped to amass a following in Connecticut's Greater Hartford area. Ollie Twist's most popular projects to date are the 2003 release of Twistology which was his first major public release, co produced by Mental Instruments Music Company. This record received much positive acclaim for the most part and set up the Rhyme Skeme for their mammoth epic in 2004, Organized Rhyme. Other big releases where his solo follow-up Nucleus in 2005, and his production work on the most recent RSP release Clear The Haze in 2006, Kastro's debut solo LP. Twist's music has roots deeply planted in the elements of intellectual lyrics locked into mostly dark hip-hop beats. With production sometimes layered and other times very stripped-down to highlight the lyrical content, there is certainly some degree of versatility. At times tracks are topical, regarding everything from science, politics and everyday life. Throw that together with a few party bangers and heartfelt ballads and that pretty much completes the scope. However, Twist is constantly creating new music and attempting to expand the current parameters of his sound. Twist also is a guitarist and has used numerous guitar tracks over the years on Rhyme Skeme tracks incorporating a rock feel to some of their work.
