J Dilla - Diamonds (The Shining Pt. 1)

Produced by Knxwledge, from the album HALLWAYS | Sep. 2nd
http://www.stonesthrow.com/homeboysandman

I went to the free clinic / 'Cause I been acting indecently / They told me I been tested to recently / And had to wait till May / That's a month away / And my favorite girl is scared of everything / Yo, I swear to everything / But yet another girl on the way to go see her / And brought her a brassier on Canal Street / It was the same girl from the joint I did with L'Orange / True story / And now this dude next to me is smoking / Making my t-shirt smell nasty / Yo, don't ask me. I guess I got problems / Seems like I got problems / I think I got problems / Looks like I got problems

I'm surrounded by hipsters / What does that say about me? / Maybe I'm not being honest with myself / Hipsters love independent movies / Shit, I love independent movies / Actually, I just like independent movies / So I think I'm cool there / I wanna be done with this / But I gotta rhyme at least some of this / Other genres you don't even really have to rhyme / Can't even understand what cats be saying half the time / Kurt Cobain you couldn't understand shit / That shit was hot tho I ain't tryna diss / Too late, y'all already pissed. I guess I got problems.

What to do? / Plain to see / I don't know where to go / Pray for me / Who to call / Where to go / Ain't that some shit, I'll admit / I don't know / I don't know when to shave / I don't know what to eat / I don't know who to love / I don't know who to beat / I don't know how to be / I don't know what to say / I don't know when to leave / I don't know when to stay. I guess I got problems.



Homeboy Sandman - Problems

We have been friends with Oddisee for more then 10 years now, we even released one of his 12"s back in the days. So it's more then a pleasure to have him on the sampler, even more so with such a strong track. Check out his works here if you're not yet familiar.

After the widely successful release of „Summer in Jakarta“, Jakarta Records figured it’s time to gather some artist we like, work and/or are friends with again for the second installment of the loose series. „Winter In Jakarta“ features all unreleased material by artists such as Stwo, IAMNOBODI, Mura Masa, Oddisee, Guts, L’Orange, Suff Daddy and many more. The album will be available as a free DLL on the 9th of February. Keep your eyes open for the free cassette tape edition available from selected retailers.

Oddisee - Clutch Shoot (Taken off "Winter In Jakarta", dropping 9th of February)

from the upcoming album Oddisee "The Good Fight" (5/5)
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-good-fight/id969829649

In a landscape overrun with abstract indulgence and shallow trend-chasers, the Prince George’s County, Maryland artist Oddisee has created 'The Good Fight', a record that reminds you that it’s music before it’s hip-hop. Due May 5th on Mello Music Group, it’s for the fans and for himself. It finds the musical heavyweight balancing between craft, career, and successfully growing into the world around him. Stream the first single, "That's Love".

Album Description:
Oddisee makes music that rattles in your bone marrow. It’s imbued with love, honesty, and selflessness. It’s virtuosic in its musicality, direct in its language, and infinitely relatable.
 
In a landscape overrun with abstract indulgence and shallowtrend-chasers, the Prince George’s County, Maryland artist has created “The Good Fight,” a record that reminds you that it’s music before it’s hip-hop. Released on Mello Music Group, it’s for the fans and for himself. It finds the musical heavyweight balancing between craft, career, and successfully growing into the world around him.
 
For Oddisee, “The Good Fight” is about living fully as a musician without succumbing to the traps of hedonism, avarice, and materialism. It’s about not selling out and shilling for a paycheck, while still being aware that this is a business requiring compromise and collaboration.
 
It’s music that yields an intangible feeling: the sacral sound of an organ whine, brass horns, or a cymbal crash. It’s not necessarily the syllables, but rather what they evoke. A song like “That’s Love” is more than a declaration; it’s a meditation on our capacity to love and the bonds binding us together. Ambition and greed war with our sense of propriety. “Contradiction’s Maze” offers a list of paradoxes we all face (“I want to tell the truth when it hurts/but when it comes to me, I want the blow softened.”)
 
Oddisee’s production simmers in its own orchestral gumbo. You sense he’s really a jazzman in different form, inhabiting the spirit of Roy Ayers and other past greats.  The Fader’s compared him to a musical MC Escher, calling hailing his “grandiose and symphonic sound” and “relevant relatable messages.” Pitchfork praised his “eclectic soulful boom-bap.”
 
“The Good Fight” acknowledges the stacked odds, but refuses to submit.
 
It’s both universal and personal. The child of a Sudanese immigrant highlights the rigors of his own upbringing: his pregnant mother working the register until she was about to burst, his pops’ shuttered diner that couldn’t survive Reaganomics—the one that Oddisee drives past every time he returns home, just to remind him how quickly the world can turn bad.
 
It’s these minor details that add into something major. It’s testament to the indelible nature of art: when you can turn what you love into something that lasts.

Trouble Knows Me (prod. by Madlib)

today is a morning that leaves you lost in the light of last nights election which essentially is a continuation of a global trend of racist, sexist and homophobic populism from the usa to the philippines. the whole problem is very complex but all of these populist idiots benefit from a huge part of the people not caring and they rather "get lost". juju rogers drops some jewels -fuck diamonds- over a bluestaeb beat for those who think their voice doesn't matter. their album LIT drops in december.

Exile and Aloe Blacc have been making music together for many years. The 2 began experimenting with Hip Hop when Aloe was only 16 and Exile 17 with no more than a 4 track tape recorder, turntable and a microphone. Building a fan base pre internet selling tapes on the streets all over the CA southland, eventually reaching the world. The 2 have released many underground tapes and vinyl through out the years and ears of many. The 2 have made many classics with each other but more note worthy when the two began to work on there own. Most people do not know Aloe blacc began as a rapper since his Stones Throw release "Good Things" and number one smash "The Man"
Mean while Exile laying the foundation of new west coast classics with Dirty science crew mates, Blu and exile, below the heavens, Fashawn's boy meets world, and countless production credits from Snoop Dogg, Whiz Khalifa to Big Sean. The two have remained friends and continued to collaborate together, but is not til now the combination bares the fruit of a new album. A look into the darker side of Aloes mind of poetry and lyrical mastery, with Exile behind the production to bring you a modern classic  Dystopia.

These Words Are Everything

“They say you have your whole life to make your first album/ guess I’ve been busy living so the first outcome/ was worth hearing...” - Oddisee “Ready To Rock” 

Rappers are generally in the business of storytelling, but whether those stories are true or not is often a sidenote. “People Hear What They See” is Oddisee’s debut full length album, and its key concern is honesty - honesty with yourself, with what you tell the world, and the relationships people have with each other. The title came from a feeling that most of the time we’re content not to look or listen beneath the surface for the truths which lie beneath.
