Some free music

Here's a little round up of some worthwhile, and free, musical offerings floating around the internet right now.

First off, we've got Oddisee's Odd Winter. A few months back he did Odd Autumn, and it was a nice  collection of instrumentals. This installment has a few more cameos (maybe because this DC producer/emcee got a good dose of shine in '09), but his beats only got better - expect choppy samples with a well-heeled jazz influence and a heavy hit of boom bap drums, but with slightly less warble in the low end than FlyLo or Dilla.

"Carry On" Instrumental

Next up comes SMKA, a production team from Atlanta that is making serious moves and music. This is the smarter version of everything Southern in hip hop. This could pass for what is getting played in the caprices and caddys, but the beats are tighter and the rhymes are harder. It's also an incredibly diverse record ranging from street shit to post-Kanye hip pop (minus the auto-tune, thankfully). Plus, it's got cameos from underground favs like Tanya Morgan as well as ATL tastemakers like Hollyweerd and more. Grab a copy here.
