Oddisee & Kev Brown tour Australia (Manning Bar - Sydney Uni)
July 6th 2007 04:12
This event is 9 months in the making by Alex Proimos. Two-thirds of Washington D.C.'s Low Budget Collective, Oddisee and Kev Brown are hitting Aussie shores this September. Chilled, jazzy Hip Hop is a refreshing break from all the crunk junk and crap hop out these days in the mainstream. I'm not completely dissing the commercial, I like it too sometimes and am always on the lookout for the freshest beat to dance to, but if you're at work and sneaking in headphones or cruising in your moms car, these guys should be on your playlist.
Now I know some other sites are against putting up press releases and would rather write up their version but hey, those writing the press releases worked hard and might like their work shown on a prominent website like Hiphop.org.au
You can download six tracks HERE made available exclusively as part of their Australian Tour. Interviews and giveaways to come later!
Since their early production on DJ Jazzy Jeff's “The Magnificent” till now Oddisee (Halftooth Records) and Kev Brown (Up Above Records) infused us with their chilled melodic almost cosmic beats and jazzy chords. Whether its via their production and/or features these two have attracted listeners keen to hear the sounds and lyrics reminiscent of the classics from Gang Starr, Pete Rock / CL Smooth, J. Dilla, The Roots, Slum Village and DJ Premier.
Hailing from Washington D.C. and as part of the Low Budget collective, Oddisee and Kev Brown, leave their mark by taking us back to the days when hip-hop was in the goldern era. From their collaborations with DJ Jazzy Jeff, Talib Kweli, J-Live, De La Soul, Raheem Devaughn, Wordsworth, Kenn Starr, Asheru and Little Brother, its clear that Oddisee and Kev Brown are taking us back to the hip-hop roots and progressively introducing the entire hip-hop community to a fresh and innovative style that has universal appeal.
Only through a lack of publicity and promotion have Oddisee and Kev Brown remained hidden underground for so long, although Oddisee’s production on Wordsworth’s “Mirror Music” and Kev Brown’s remix of Jay Z’s “The Black Album”, entitled “The Brown Album” garnished them an early instant respect and a worldwide buzz. Rather than seek to parade in the spotlight these two maestros would happily sit back in the shadows and let their music speak to the masses, which has certainly been the case in their respective recent highly acclaimed/borderline classic studio albums, “Foot in the Door” by Oddisee and “I Do What I Do” by Kev Brown.
For the first time Oddisee and Kev Brown will make the long journey to captivate an Australian audience by performing a two hour live show at The University of Sydney’s Manning Bar, September 5th 2007, with the support of fellow Australian producer/DJ M Phazes.
