This just perked up my pretty crappy day, lol.

I saw he'd dropped a single last week, didn't know this was on the way.

Some good features too, Bilal and Phonte jumped out.

"To What End" is the lp name - not on MMG, surprisingly

This is his first since the COVID ep (which i listened to recently and felt stood up pretty well overall). Hope he changed this up a *bit* but I'll take anything I can get from him, need some of this or some solo Phonte in my life right now, fact.

Been digging the hell out of this album. His best one since TGF to me.

...on the low, he is one of the best doing it, like a grandchild of the Native Tongues forefathers...Man is a TALENT!

Integrity is the Cornerstone of Artistry...

dmv stand up!

Rjcc is code for "bitch-ass troll"

that female rapper should have NEVER been allowed to follow up that Phonte verse with that nonsense. A different feature was also needed for the hook to More 2 Go

that I found this good as a record but mediocre for Oddisee.

I could very well change my mind -- but this felt... like every one of Oddisee's last few records.

Which isn't a bad thing but - for me, personally - I was hoping for more of a change-up.

I liked a lot of the features but I don't know if a single track really stood out on the first few listens.

Could be a sleeper though.

Many Hats is my jam.

but i would rather listen to The Iceberg or People Hear What They See.

he's a motivational rapper. glad that he's doing his own thing.

probably my favorite

"Roll me further bitch"

One could argue Oddisee outrapped Free on that one or at least tied him (although that Pharcyde reference was a tiebreaker in Free’s favor lol)

People Watching has gotta be the most misanthropic song ever recorded.

Yeah, more I listen, it’s super average…I expect much more of his releases…

Integrity is the Cornerstone of Artistry...

The run from Choices, to Tru Again to Ghetto to Meadow. Is a dope 3 song run.

Album of the Year...so far.

Not sure where this ranks in his discog. At this juncture, I don't really care.

This is a soulful ass album that gets better with each listen.

i haven't been feeling oddisee as a rapper much since somewhere around tangible dream, but the music is still immaculate

I love The Good Fight

But he has unfortunately fallen into the category of rappers who sound the exact same on every single song.

Which is strange because he does switch his flow, but he just attacks every beat the same way vocally.

I liked it well enough at first, but I like it a lot more now. It’s got such a smooth sound, maybe it just fits the summer better for me?

big Oddisee fan but first few listens this one didn't click with me. I did hear one track on a playlist the other day that I thought was really good but I didn't catch the name.

Going back and listening to Odd Cure EP recently and I felt the same at about that one like I do his new one but I really like it now. Too many skits on that one but there's some good songs on there.

n/a

Damn I need a good cross country trip to catch up with the music I wanna hear and digest it.

I can let it play all the way through, but it’s mostly just background music to put on.
