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 [...]
A Low Budget Christmas
A little something to get you in the Christmas mood if you aren’t already. I got my Christmas list ready and I’m handing out copies. A Low Budget Christmas is a nice surprise in my email- Christmas started early. A low Budget Christmas is a nice twist on holiday tracks you may or may not know. Now [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
TiRon – MSTRD
kyLA introduced me to TiRon one summer hanging out at the Do Over. Ever since then I’ve been keeping a close eye on this talented cat. Last year he dropped Ketchup and this year it’s MSTRD. Just like a food fight, but without the mess and a whole lot of fun. TiRon’s MSTRD quickly became [...]
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 [...]

BOOMBOX: May 1st
[ 1 May, 2010 9:30 pm to 2 May, 2010 2:00 am. ] I gotta apologize for the delay on getting the word out on this month’s Boombox. It’s going to be an absolute must see, event! First off, let me give BIG thanks to Inka One, Ben Diggin, and One Man Jazz for making Boombox a staple in L.A. Second, the folks at Boombox know how to [...]
