I apologize big time for taking the late pass on this joint, I should’ve learned my lesson with Diamond District and listen to everything the dude does the second it  comes out. The production by Oddisee is so on point, no one else is capturing the overall feel of a song like Oddisee’s beats are doing it for me right now, they just seem much more musically complete. This song is off of his solo album (although he is joined by fellow Diamond District members yU, X.O., and many other guests on some tracks) in which he handles all the production and on some songs joins his friends for a verse or two. It is kind of like a mix between a producer and MC’s album with Oddisee being the common thread through production and verses. The album is called Mental Liberation and is out May 5th and if it is half as good as this song or Diamond District’s album, In the Ruff (and it will be), then we should all go get it.

Shouts to Kenny Fresh @ Fresh Selects for the song
