Kev Brown is not only one of my favourite producers, but is without a doubt one of the most underrated ones too. He has produced for the likes of Raheem DeVaughn, Phonte from Little Brother, Grap Luva, De La Soul, Busta & even contributed to Dj Jazzy Jeff’s ‘Magnificent EP’. Kev has just released a new album with Kaimbr called ‘The Alexander Green Project’ & to draw more attention to his music is also giving this compilation of classics and unreleased tracks away for free. For those of you new to his production and like this free download, be sure to check out his albums ‘I Do What I Do’, ‘Random Joints’ & the classic Jay-Z Black Album remix ‘The Brown Album’.

Amir ‘Oddisee’ Mohamed, born in Washington D.C. and raised in Maryland, is a producer/emcee who is really pushing his creative boundaries. After working with Hip Hop greats such as DJ Jazzy Jeff, Talib Kweli, J-Live, Asheru, Little Brother, Cy Young, Kev Brown & Kenn Starr, Oddisee is now 3 quarters of the way through his season themed series of predominantly instrumental albums. Compared with Oddisee’s previous productions, the season themed albums seem much more experimental, yet still have a strong Oddisee feel to them. As it happens, Oddisee said via email that a lot of the beats from the Odd Season albums are actually several years old. He also mentioned that he sees these 4 projects as a platform for himself to display versatility in his production.

With all seasons done except spring, Oddisee has managed to make each album so far carry a distinct vibe of the respective season. Whilst a big fan of the autumn & summer albums, the production style on ‘Frostbit’, ‘60901 Instrumental’ & the 2 tracks with UK emcee Tranqill on the recently released ‘Odd Winter’ really stand out from the rest. To hear more of Oddisee’s music, check out his MySpace here, or download the other season themed albums for free here. Big thank you to Oddisee for help with the post.
