Yep that's what i heard first too. If enough people want it, I'll put together a rar file of JL/LBC joints. Songs like Kev Brown/Grap Luva/Phonte - Can't Stay Away, Kenn Starr/Median - Back At It, Foreign Exchange/Critically Acclaimed - Hustle Hustle

Any stories from LBC/JL collab days @TheDarceKnight ?

Breh Can't Stay Away is a top 5 joint from that era :wow:

Super late pass. Been updating my music and came across this.

I feel like this one of those type of albums that people will really appreciate 10 or 20 years down the line as an underrated classic. Just an amazing listen lyrically and musically. This Odisee kid is an amazing rapper and I'm feel almost ashamed for not checking on this kid more.

I feel this way about everything Odd has done since Rock Creek Park.

People talk about "timeless" music, but his stuff is truly timeless. It's not of an era, it's not of a generation, and it's not tied to a particular "sound" or style.

I can't imagine anything from Iceberg, Alwasta, or Good Fight ever sounding "old". It just works, and it's good at its worst, and incredible at its best.

Breh, Tangible Dream hasn't come outta rotation since it dropped back in 2K13. The only song I ever consider skipping on there is "The Goings On" and that depends on my mood at the time. I'm at the point where I don't even try to put nikkas on anymore. Just enjoy what the man puts out on my own.
His live show is the dopest out also:wow:

Here's another joint that I still regularly play from around the Tangible Dream era. It's from a Mello Music Group compilation (you might have it, you might not)

Man everytime a song from Iceberg comes up on the phone I just :banderas:

His music evokes introspection, joy, and most importantly hope. There should be hella sync deals for songs he's dropped the past few years

Don't know if yall ever heard this verse, it came out last year. A rapper from the UK who I knew from the old Justus League message board and a producer from the UK put out an album. The lead single had Oddisee on it
