@realjlive – Money Matters (Video) (Prod. by @ODDISEE)

J-Live drops a cool new song (and video) about saving money.  Yes that sounds boring, but the track is the farthest from boring.  Over a soulful beat from Oddisee, the veteran rapper spits an eloquent message about saving money and self-worth that is pretty refreshing to hear alongside lots of materialist music (that I help promote in some way.)  You can buy the single on iTunes or wait for the album Around The Sun, which drops soon.

Oddisee – After Thoughts (Video)

Some trippy blend from DC’s Oddisee, taken from The Beauty In It All which drops October 1st:

“The Beauty In All is about the flaws & mistakes that give life its character and worth – how even ignorance can give light to knowledge. For me, not knowing how to do something & still trying is a process that helped my production style evolve. If everything we are is out in perfect tutorials, we might never deviate from the teacher. This record is dedicated to imperfection and the sense of pride & accomplishment we get from our struggles. Hopefully, you listen to this record, reflect on the ups & downs of life, and see the beauty in all.”

@Oddisee – Lonely Planet

From the upcoming Oddisee instrumental album “The Beauty In All” (10/1 order on iTunes now).
“The Beauty In All” is about the flaws, & mistakes that give life its character & worth. How even ignorance can give light to knowledge. For me, not knowing how to do something & still trying is the process of how I evolved my own production style. If everything we’re is out in perfect tutorials, I might have never deviated from the teacher. This record is dedicated to imperfection & the sense of pride & accomplishment we get from our struggles. Hopefully you listen to this record & reflect on the ups & downs of life & see the beauty in all.
