Freeness from Oddisee - Mental Liberation

Not newness but freeness from Mello Music Group front runner Oddisee.  Way back when people actually used to pay attention to labels, who really sought to create the most talented roster and earn the trust of hip hop enthusiasts.  Even though I was just a youngster at this time, I do feel the same connection to Rhymesayers and Mello Music Group.  Both labels consistently put out dope music and actually work to promote their artists, and I'll check out anything that they do.

That being said, MMG is offering Oddisee's Mental Liberation as a free download via bandcamp.  This album came out in 2009 but it has kind of gotten lost in my collection.  In my several efforts to listen to more Oddisee, I have repeatedly made attempts to try to listen to this but it has not received much play (I am listening to it now though, and I like what I hear).  This should be an instant download just by virtue that it's from Oddisee, who always murders it on the production tip and completes his songs with his honesty and laid-back flow.  We've featured Oddisee several times on the show, and if you don't have this already, you need to check this out (Mental Liberation also has a pretty amazing guest list).

Edit:  Even if you have Mental Liberation, this download includes 3 bonus instrumentals that were previously unavailable.  For some reason, you can't download them individually (for free), so even I am downloading this again (yes, the instrumentals are that good).
