As a musician, life is often lived on the road. Each city leaves its imprint on the artist as they develop their craft. For Oddisee, the producer and MC brainchild behind 2009′s critically acclaimed Diamond District, the life and travels of the artist is no mystery. Touring, recording, and keeping up with friends and family took Oddisee beyond his hometown of Washington DC to Australia, Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. Rather than keep these experiences to himself, Oddisee is instead releasing a new 24-track instrumental album, sharing his worldly experiences – through music, directly with his fans; a 24 city sonic tour of the world. With this new release, Oddisee is the Traveling Man.
Being released digitally today and as a limited edition vinyl pressing on February 23rd, Traveling Man is an instrumental album truly influenced by the producer’s surroundings. Each track was produced while Oddisee stayed in the city it was titled after. With these first three, take a visit to the festive “San Fran” as you travel with the woman who so smoothly sings, “Do everything you wanted to do, you’re on your own, that’s how it goes”. Or take a ride to “Chicago” where you can let your swagger loose on the windy streets as a soft voice is conjured up to serenade you over the beat’s guitar plucks, horns, and dense instrumentation. Not confined to U.S. borders, Oddisee next takes you overseas, as the hypnotic “Khartoum” in Sudan beckons you to visit its streets. No need for a passport because Oddisee sees the world, so that you can hear it. Listen up. Oddisee’s Traveling Man is available digitally today via Mello Music Group.

Thanks, Odd’
Jus copped the album. I recommend it. And I sampled the same song he used for the DC joint! Hate when that shit happens. But he killed it though. Give it a listen tell me what y’all think. I never plugged my page in all the time I been on this sight but this sample is pretty obscure and it was one of the last ones I thought I’d get beatin to the punch on… damn.
