Oddisee – Belong To The World [Video]
Off of Oddisee’s latest project “The Good Fight”, which is available now here. Oddisee says: “Belong to the World” is a song about making a transition from feeling like i didnt fit it to anything, into understanding we belong to everything. It is a song about understanding that the world is bigger than the small things we want to be a part of. About the video: Director Zack Kashkett worked to provide a sense of isolation and introspection that often accompanies the physical and metaphorical idea of being inside and alone juxtaposed against spacious shots of Oddisee within the larger world outside. The sense of isolation goes away when the scope gets large enough and the world’s size becomes encompassing not enclosing. This is similar to the sense one gets when they realize they are part of something greater.

Quentin Miller has been thrust into the spotlight inadvertedly the past week, thanks to Meek Mill, who claimed Drake never wrote his “R.I.C.O.” verse and Funkmaster Flex put his stuff on blast by playing a reference track of “10 Bands” by Miller. QM responded by saying he never wrote anything for Drizzy, but the two collaborated on “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late”. If you wanted to hear some music from the kid on the solo tip, here’s a track called “Lies” that surfaced today. via OS

While discussing his latest album with seasoned producer !llmind, Joell Ortiz decided to fuel rumors of an anticipated Slaughterhouse album due out this year. “I see the mentions. Like, ‘yo, is it real this time? You promise?’” he tells us. “It’s 2015, right? It’s not over.” After alluding to the album’s existence, Ortiz was asked if he has a hard time memorizing his lyrics after a project is released, to which he responded he doesn’t. “I got one of those elephant memories – I don’t forget verses. But there is a period where it takes you to get in pocket, like, super ‘I own the show!’” Press play above to hear more.
Read moreK-OS – Spaceship [Stream]
“Spaceship” is taken from K-OS’ forthcoming LP, “Can’t Fly Without Gravity”, out on August 28 via Dine Alone Records. Pre-order your copy here. “I was initially scared to release this song – it was supposed to be on my last record, Black On Blonde, but I was too shook to release it,” k-os told OKP. “It’s a vulnerable tune. Sometimes in rap you always wanna present the hardest most secure side of yourself. So when you create a track that embodies a child like essence it’s confusing simply because you’re not a child anymore. At the end of it all ‘Spaceship’ takes me back to the record JoyfuL RebelLion – before I was known and before I had an image to protect. It’s like a short biography of my rap life. And even though it’s not the hardest or darkest track in the world, fact is human beings aren’t always hard and dark. How would you know what was dark If you didn’t experience the light? A knife can’t cut itself.” – K-OS
