Oddisee – People Hear What They See
I don’t know why it took me so long to write about my man Oddisee’s latest album, People Hear What They See. Oh yeah too busy listening to it. People- I want to tell you the music is out there. I know folks say Hip Hop sucks these days, and yeah I have caught myself [...]
Oddisee – Odd Renditions
I’m going to give you my opinion on this dude Oddisee. I think we are witnessing the makings of a legend. I really can’t think of a project that he’s a part of that folks don’t love. Above all Oddisee is a down to earth cat. Odd Renditions Vol. 001 is another flavor of Oddisee, but still [...]
Sinitus Tempo – Journey
This is one of the most laid-back chill albums I’ve heard. Sinitus Tempo’s Journey puts me in a hypnotic jazzy trance. Bolivia started off and I immediately envisioned people in a Richard Neutra home with some Eames furniture. Folks are sipping on Cognac or wine talking about the music selection tonight. The title track, Journey, will take [...]
Oddisee – The Blooming
I had to post this up. When people reach out to you from around the world because they love your music, that is love. Oddisee has been cranking out the tunes as a producer and an emcee, so it’s great to see that cat get rep’d like that in Belgium. The Blooming has a very [...]
Mello Music Group – Helpless Dreamer
Mello Music Group, in my opinion, has built up an impressive catalog of independent Hip-Hop in a relatively short period of time. You may already be familiar with their work with Diamond District (XO, yU, Oddisee), Apollo Brown & Trek Life; in which case, the odds are quite good that you agree with me.
Helpless Dreamer is a [...]
Trek Life – Everything Changed Nothing
My man Trek Life is not playing. This is the Year of the Trek, and with his latest album, Everything Changed Nothing, there is no questions about that. I heard So Supreme from ESPN, and a few other tracks here and there. The day the album hit stores Trek’s in-store at Fat Beats, I bought [...]
LMNO & Kev Brown – Selective Hearing Part 2
Man, let me start off by saying BUY Selective Hearing Part 2! J1 introduced me to Kev Brown at a benefit party for Kutmah at the Verdugo Bar. I bought Kev Brown’s Random Joints a while back, and was a big fan (a House Shoes recommendation). Kev was in town to do a tour with [...]
Oddisee – Odd Spring
Oddisee rounds out his seasonal collection with the 4th and final installment Odd Spring. Oddisee is one of my favorite producers/emcees, and you know you’re going to get quality music from him every time. Odd Spring is another collection of Oddisee tracks that sets the mood for the season. The tone is set right away [...]
Oddisee – Odd Winter
Winter is here and Oddisee has dropped another soundtrack dedicated to the season. Odd Winter has a few more tracks with emcees on it than Odd Summer & Odd Autumn, but totally has the season themed series feel. Ci’iy Life featuring Tranqill sets the mood, and eases you into the “Oddisee sound. I use “Oddisee [...]
Oddisee – Odd Autumn
I rocked Oddisee’s Odd Summer for a long time and recently switched up to Oddisee’s Odd Autumn. We don’t have seasons in So Cal, so when it started getting cold the other day I figured it was time to switch. Stuff Oddisee puts out quickly becomes a staple in my ipod, so Odd Autumn is [...]
