Oddisee has released his new instrumental album “The Beauty In All”. The 12 track audible journey, rich in texture, is the perfect laid back record to put on for a drive, an afternoon off, or some time alone with someone close.   With it comes an intensely personal new mixtape of material produced by & featuring Oddisee titled “Tangible Dream.”

Combined The Beauty In All and Tangible Dream is the perhaps the most potent one-two musical combination of 2013.  This revealing mixtape offers a glimpse into Oddisee’s current world view. Tangible Dream is a mix-tape dedicated to the deconstruction of our traditional ideas of success that sheds light on the possibility of a sustainable rap life.  Let the music play as you go about your day.

The mixtape comes as a free download with the CD and Vinyl, as well as with digital purchases on bandcamp.  Anyone who picks up the album though (itunes, Amazon, emusic, etc…) can get a free download by screenshoting their purchase and emailing info@mellomusicgroup.com

Texas emcee Playdough and his trusted DJ/Producer Minister Sean Patrick are not afraid to show off their dance moves in their new music video “Turn It Out”.

If dancing is not your thing, then close your eyes because the rowdy breaks from DJ Sean P are enough to turn anyone into a party animal.

Dabbla, Son of Light, Dubbledge, DJ Frosty, Philly B – “LET IT PLAY” [VIDEO TRAILER]

Here is the teaser for “Let it Play”, the follow up single to Dabbla’s ‘You Suck’ and the title track for Philly B’s forthcoming LP.

As the trailer suggests, the full video for Let it Play is coming soon, as yet there is no official release date, “It will drop when it’s ready, when the time is right…the edit is currently maturing like a fine wine.  We’ve waited long enough to bring you this piece, no point getting impatient, best to just let it play….”

The single features vocals by the ‘Problem Child’ duo Dabbla & Dubbledge alongside veteran of the Norwegian rap scene, Son of Light.  With production by Philly B & cuts by LDZ’s very own DJ Frosty, this is not a collaboration to be taken lightly.

For this video they worked with Sudanese director of photography, Alyaa Sirelkhatim and make-up artist Alicia Davies to bring you a rich visual treat showcasing these three protagonists in the most surreal of settings.
