Trek Life, from Mello Music Group, dropped this video earlier this week, and while the video isn’t anything spectacular, the music is. The song is motivational backed by super strong production from Oddisee.

Best of 2012: Downloads of the Year
How else could we mark Christmas Day but with a post of free presents of the year? So we’re going to share with you our picks of the free downloads from the past twelve months.
While it might seem like minor news that a computer company has handed out an award for Hip-Hop album of the year, but when that company is Apple and that album is one we’re into, we have to gives props. iTunes Best of 2012 awards have just gone live on the iTunes Store and the California technology giant have deservingly awarded Oddisee’s People Hear What They See, their Hip-Hop album of the year. Massive credit where it’s due, not just to Oddisee and Mello Music Group, but to Apple for not picking the mainstream’s latest flavour.
Substantial dropped this bonus song from the recording sessions for his album Home Is Where The Art Is. This one features yU on the mic, with Oddisee handling the production and doing a great job with the go-go sound of the area. yU drops a great verse to accompany Substantial and this is a song that definitely could have been on the album. You can download the song for free on the bandcamp page.
RAS took Clara Burton, a standout track from Oddisee’s Rock Creek Park which came out last year and added some great vocals too it. I’ve been waiting for some one to take the quality tracks from the Rock Creek Park EP and do this, but I haven’t seen any that sounded remotely close to being good.
Oddisee’s latest and essentially first album, People Hear What They See, has been one of the releases of the year. Nobody doubted his production capabilities going in, but he achieved a great flow through the album and matched it with genuinely humble lyrics. No better example than “Let It Go” which Oddisee performs with his live band that have recently embarked on a massive tour.
A great track from Oddisee with the trademark sound we are accustomed too.
