Audio: DJ Soko - Stand Up (Feat. Guilty Simpson & Hassaan Mackey, Prod. Apollo Brown)
Mello Music Group just keep dishing out the treats.
Two thirds of the infuriatingly under-rated The Left (DJ Soko & Apollo Brown) team up with Stones Throw stalwart Guilty Simpson and Hassaan Mackey as part of Mello Music Group’s limited edition 7” series.
The track can be downloaded for free on the player above.

Audio: Oddisee - Hustle Off
Ahead of the Mello Music Group’s super-producer’s new album People Hear What They See (available for pre-order here and released on April 11th), Oddisee has allowed us this, for free download via the player above.
His words on the new record:
“This album is about influence, inspiration, perception & reality. Every song was written in an outside environment, so that I could observe the subjects that would become my subject matter. All too often in Hip Hop, reality is limited to that of the artists own, actual experiences. People Hear What They See is my attempt to liberate the MC from those constraints & allow reality to be penned other than my own. Listening to congressmen & lawyers converse on the steps of the supreme court inspired ‘American Greed’, Watching a couple argue over the phone in a bar inspired ‘Maybes’. By having a visual representation of my subject matter, my hopes are that the listener will see them through the worlds & melodies of my songs.”
If you heard Rock Creek Park you’ll know the new album will be an essential purchase.

Mello Music Group are incapable of putting out anything even vaguely not brilliant.

Detroit MC Finale kills it, with the ever-brilliant Apollo Brown on the production.

MMG are heading, en masse, to South By Southwest fesitval in Austin, Texas.
To celebrate this merry jaunt, they bring us the above, featuring the likes of Apollo Brown, Oddisee and yU.
Looking at that roster, it’s fair to say, once again, that MMG are a fantastic record label.
