Quiet Dawn - The First Day preview // New Dawn (feat. Oddisee)

‘The First Day’ is the debut album from French producer Will Galland, aka Quiet Dawn. Since signing to First Word in 2014, Quiet Dawn has released two singles, ‘New Dawn’ featuring Oddisee (featuring a remix from Eric Lau) and the more recent ‘Golden Moments’ featuring Sarah Gessler. These served as the perfect introduction to QD’s style, with jazz, hip-hop and broken beat influences combined to create something that is very much his own sound......

Oddisee - Counter-Clockwise

Oddisee - Counter-Clockwise from Mello Music Group on Vimeo.

From the upcoming Oddisee solo album "The Good Fight".

“CounterClockwise is about being there for people & them working against you as a result. Becoming the bearer of their problems because they know you can handle it," Says Oddisee.
This is the second song from the Brooklyn by-way-of Prince George's County musicians upcoming solo album "The Good Fight." The song explores the counterproductive nature of some relationships that end up draining those involved. Disorienting and complex layers of backsliding record slips, driving drums, and haunting vocalizations push the song forward while Oddisee's crisp and calm vocals tell the story of people moving in different directions. And while anger may be somes primary drive, and fire may be their weapon, Oddisee reminds us that water is their easy match.

Audio: Trek Life - What it is // Apollo Brown RMX

New Free Stuff of MMGs Trek Life upcoming LP "Wouldn't change Nothing" available 12th July.

Today the first single, What It Is (Apollo Brown Remix), was released from his upcoming project Wouldn’t Change Nothing. Detroit producer Apollo Brown approached the track by trying to craft an entirely new sound from the Oddisee original in an effort to compliment Trek's agressive flow. Trek Life commented after hearing the finished track: "What It Is is one of the rawest tracks I ever recorded, it's crazy that Apollo made it even MORE RAW!"

Audio: She Vs. I Episode 24 // Podcast

Ep24 Side B by She Vs. I

Cassette Edition. Episode 24 is a collection of some of our favorite mixes over the last two years with a couple of surprises.

The Good folks of She Vs. I sent me the new She Vs. I podcast (#24). It contains 2 sides called "A: Pattysaurus" & "B: 8-bits" , i like both, but the 8-Bits fits better into my actual mood. Nice cuckoo selection. Check side A and the tracklists after the jump.

Audio: Stik Figa - From The Top (Prod. By Oddisee) // EP

I don`t know why we missed this when this came out ten days ago... uh, I know we were busy as hell, but the good guys over at PHIMB always keep a hiphop nerd updated.
These 5 songs come in form of a 20 track EP. Yeah that`s right, they provide you with the dirty and clean versions, accapellas and instrumentals... for free. So get busy and remix or rap to this.
Next thing you know they have pdf files with the lyrics so you can rhyme along and the cover comes in form of colouring booklet to keep your kids busy while you rap along listening to the clean version (of course).
By the way this is as dope as you thought it would be.
