Oddisee - From Largo With Love

By -

I'm making shit you relate to, worry and celebrate to, that make you wanna  do better than just make do.


Shortly after dropping my mixtape and album of the year Oddisee decides to give me one more remarkable treat. It's a confection sweet like stevia; all natural and guilt free. His flow parallels a calm creek quickly shifting to white water rapids only to ease up to that perfect portrait. It's an unprecedented balance of camel cool minus the naive bravado. With Oddisee you always know you're going to get a quality track destined to be stuck on repeat.




Lyrics: Oddisee - From Largo With Love

Representing from Largo
It's Odd yo
Hey yo
Keep going

I'm back at it like I ain't just drop a classic
I think talent is habitual a habit I contract it
With residuals to match it I'm a cactus in the desert
So when other start to perish I flourish where it's difficult
Weird to imagine my ?Awankin? to mash shit
I do my best between the power and the practice
Money under, women on top the mattress
Use my bed for many things but sleeping ain't on the ballot
O marks the spot an unorthodox shot
Heard around the world it started in the parking lot
I'm talking ciphers dead shot my shit is mean
Off the top Maximilian guillotine
Viva la revolution I'm all about execution
The fruits of my labor gravitate to me I'm next to Newton
Study signs while God studies me
According to my calculations we're going to meet somewhere between
Where, we'll see?

I set a course to operate without remorse
Regret restraint but none of them I resort
I guess I think I'm living life with the force
A jet a tank fly nigga untouchable
I'm living good in Brooklyn currently, Huxtable
Well deserved I was a trouble youth
In a sense my lack of innocence provided me another route
Ain't many problems I can't troubleshoot
Now I'm stable got a label rocking labels that you pay to
I'm able to speak the truth through music not a fable
I'm making shit you relate to worry and celebrate to
That make you wanna do better than just make do
Grateful my struggle synonymous with my hustle
So when fans enjoy to see so much their versing through the puddle
A lake view eye on the storm find miss under the duvet supplying the warmth
I call her Tahoe
Representing from Largo
It's Odd mo

A lot of speculation on the money I've made
How is it I'm paid
If I'm seldom ever heard on the radio or played
Intelligent hustler eggs no basket
Means you all be digging me forever no casket
This is built to last shit in common with my fabrics
Cut from the same cloth a nigga stay matching
Dabbling in fashion but my focus on rapping
Amateur photographer for art I have a passion
In all forms for me it's all norm
Representing from Largo
It's Odd mo

Woke Up Making Money - SoulChef ft Declaime

By -

Built like Budda and Bob Marley on a Harley  So much flavor on this track it was clearly concocted by SoulChef. The title of this track is just outright deceitful; the art of making money has been bastardized and turned into an act of craving cash rather then flourishing ones talent. That's exactly why the crispy cadence of Declaime reclaims what is it to be truthful to oneself. I lack the words to accurately describe how poignantly powerful this gem is. SoulChef is one of the greatest producers and an ode to a time that is quasi lost. When coupled with a lyricist who can consciously construct a clear message it's apparent that the power of hip-hop is still exceptionally strong. I love it from top to bottom. It radiates and embodies what I want to be as person. Thank you kindly for blessing me with a banger worthy of making money to.  Lyrics: Declaime  Haha this is what it is  And you what it ain't  Going hard in the paint  Going places where most can't Not a saint, def

Hilltop Hoods - I love it ft. Sia

Yet another great song by the Hilltop Hoods of Australia. These guys demonstrate the art of hard work and sacrifice in order to achieve their goals. This is a tribute to their passion and undying love to the culture of hip-hop. If you're like me, a hip-hop junkie, and you haven't gotten on board with the scene down under you're seriously putting a dent in your rotation list. Listen to this track because "I love it!" Lyrics: Hilltop Hoods - I love it ft. Sia Verse 1: SUFFA I’m wondering where the day went, The clouds have me shrouded in grey but, I’m still out pounding the pavement, word, Drowning the hurt by pounding rounds in brown paper, Founded a label now I’m drowning paperwork, But now the crew I’m down with found an escape from work, And I love it ‘cause that what your hard work gets you, My heart bursts through my chest I’m rescued, So forget what the rest do, I’m blessed to do it with two of who are the best to do it, Do I love it? PRESSURE Look at our goa

Kendrick Lamar - Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst

Mighty Mos Def said it best, "Why does one straw break the camels back? Here's the secret, the million other straws underneath it." In the culture of Hip-Hop there is a paradigm shift going down. While Lil Wayne experiences seizures (probably from excessive codeine usage) and Nicky Minaj trots around like a trollop not fit for the slums of Kandahar, legitimate artists are emerging. They're shining lights on the fact that excessive materialism, drug use, violence, persecution, and sexism are not productive parts of society. Emcees are getting features on their albums from influential people like Dr. Cornell West (Brother Ali) and Maya Angelou (Kendrick Lamar). They're are openly rapping about the disgusting hate towards homosexuality (Murs & Macklemore). Even the catholic church and their rampant cover up of pedophilia isn't safe (Lupe Fiasco). The cherry on this sundae is the fact that all these artists have recently topped the charts on iTunes.
