Jaymes Young - Dark Star (Jez Dior/SmarterChild Remix)

Old is the acclaimed new LP from Danny Brown, an emotionally-charged concept album as profound as it is profane. The 19 tracks are an intoxicating mix of Danny at his most experimental AND most accessible, balancing hip-hop grit with electronic club sonics and much, much more. Featuring guest appearances from A$AP Rocky, ScHoolboy Q, Freddie Gibbs, Purity Ring, Charli XCX, and more over production from the likes of A-Trak, Rustie, SKYWLKR and Paul White, Old is a psychedelic portrait of rap’s most vital and exciting new star.

Slimkid3 & DJ Nu-Mark "I Know, Didn't I" (feat. Darondo)

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.

LYRICS

[CHORUS]

One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do,
Two can be as bad as one, it’s the loneliest number since the number one [x2]

[VERSE 1]

Lately I been losin’ friends, I been caught up in the music
They can't see it through my lens, they just think I make excuses,
I been busy tryna do it while they busy tryna bullshit
And when I'm about to blow they gon’ be comin’ around that's true shit, I'm knowin’ the way that it go,
They tellin’ me that I’m alone,
I'm workin’ to get it, they neva gon’ get it they gotta go take out a loan,
This life won't last forever, I been thinkin’ bout tomorrow But I'm livin’ in the present, they been lookin’ out to follow I'm not made for that, I won't pay for that
I'm my own boss, neva changing that Can't hold me back, when I'm on the map, Imma do it all, Neva savin’ that
But it takes time, and I know that
It's neva been simple I chose that
I'm coppin a crib for the fam when I got it
I'll never be doin’ below that,
So how they gonna hate when really they don't want it bad enough? They tweetin’ all the time but really they just gon’ be actin tough, So tell me now who's up next
If it ain't me then u suspect,
And they cut checks, and we gon’ flex
Imma be their favorite subject I'm the one

[CHORUS]

One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do,
Two can be as bad as one, it’s the loneliest number since the number one [x2]

[VERSE 2]

I know, I know, I know I'm ready to go and I’m getting’ it
Never comparing it cuz I'm ahead of it
Not in my head with it, they gon’ be checking it while I be checkin’ in every Benjamin Got a dead president put in my pocket,
I pull up and rock it and pick up the profit
I pull out the wallet, I know that I got it
I'm neva gon’ give in, they been tryna block it
But neva gonna slow me down, Everybody come around,
Pull up in a Benz-o, pullin’ out bands, Flowin’ too heavy they gotta make dams,
Rockin’ the camo be lookin’ too deadly
Been killin’ the game you think I'm military,
They been actin’ petty, they been temporary
I told ‘em already, they neva gon’ check me
Like I'm rollin thru my lane nobody been within the distance
And the game is Lois, lately I’ve been on my Stewie Griffin Neva missin’ when I spit it I’ve been ballin’ with no limit, Told myself that Imma get it if I want it now I'm in it But I overcame, went through the pain, Everybody lies and they all the same,
Talkin’ bout the work and they got the game, When it come down, man they all lame,
And nobody got the talent, they just lookin’ for the camera,
Man I hate these muthafuckas somebody tell ‘em I'm comin’ for the throne

[OUTRO]

They gon’ hate in the beginning, But they love u when u winnin’, And I went and did it anyway,
They gon’ hear about me every day [x2]
They wonderin’ what I been doin’ alone but they know, Everyone lovin’ the flow,
They thinkin’ they know me but nobody know me no more, Livin’ my life on the low,
They tellin’ me what they would do but I know they don't know, They’ve never done it before,
They’ve never done it before,
Nobody talkin’ had done it before,
I used to second-guess my thoughts,
Now we second-guessin thots,
I got my first accomplishments when all my second-guessin’ dropped,
And now I'm tryna make a difference while we second-guessin’ cops, And just a few more seconds ‘till your favorite album stops.

PACKS [MASTERED MP3s}

You Can Do It! (Give Up) [Prod. by Y.O.D. and Edan]

The Ordinary Man is the third solo album from producer L’Orange. Known for his early 20th century inspired style and stripped down jazz influence, L’Orange’s solo work is often very personal and intimate and the new album is no different. 

Although mostly instrumental, there are vocal features from underground legends like Del The Funky Homosapien, Blu, Elzhi and Oddisee, as well as up and coming artists like Koreatown Oddity, Chuuwee & Solemn Brigham. These features cement the narrative of the album, tying together a long form story. 

Conceptually, the album follows a magician from being an unknown to the biggest star in the world. Performing impossible feats for thousands of people, the magician eventually becomes disillusioned and bitter, blaming the world for not understanding his greatness. 

Although dark in tone, the album is reliably playful and absurd, taking a shadowy story and combining it with the most polished production we’ve ever seen from L’Orange.
