Def Dee is the latest artist to sign to Mello Music Group. The young producer has apparently already got a couple of albums in the works set for release next year including a producers album

Cheap Heat by Def Dee The News: Seattle producer Def Dee has joined the Mello Music Group squad! Earlier this year the DMV's Damu the Fudgemunk (ReDef Records) brought Dee to MMG Director of Operations, Michael Tolle's attention. Dee was a junior in high school when he met Damu who mentored Dee for a few years after meeting. It didn't take long for Dee and Mello to find common ground and work out a multiple project deal. The 21 year old producer's sound is a distinct combination of his [...]

With the amount of music Oddisee puts out I'm starting to think he never sleeps. His next solo project titled Rock Creek Park (an ode to the park of the same name in Washington DC)

The Carter Barron by Oddisee Oddisee drops a new single off his upcoming instrumental album Rock Creek Park , track titled "The Carter Barron".

New video off DTMD's upcoming Makin' Dollas album.

Belgium's ZBS contacted Mello Music Group about permission to use Oddisee's "The Blooming" as the backdrop to their latest film. With Mello giving the thumbs up, we are provided with touching visuals to go along with a soul soothing instrumental track from Odd Seasons . Clocks are a common theme in the song, as we see them ticking and tocking throughout as things seem to change over time. Odd Seasons is available now, so go out and support if you haven't already! Hit the skip for the visuals to "The Blooming".

Belgium's ZBS Studio reached out to Mello Muisc Group about permission to do a video for Oddisee's "The Blooming". MMG of course was honored to have them interpret the song and apply their vision to the track. The resulting marriage of visual storytelling & instrumental perfection is a narrative work that tells the story of time's passage in the life of a boy. The video was directed, shot, & edited by Tomasz Cibulla and Wojciech Drożdż of ZBS Studios in Belgium. Filled with rich landscapes from Belgium's countryside, smokey ambers, old typewriters, watches, clocks, and [...]

Everyone loves free stuff! So hats off to the folks at Mello Music Group, who have been running a great series over the last few month - Free Fridays. It's pretty self explanatory really; when the working week has almost wound down, the Mello crew releases a title from its catalogue for folks to feast on for free. Yesterday's Free Friday - a free download of producer/rapper Oddisee's 2008 LP 101 (or is he a rapper/producer? He's strong on both fronts) - was a touch depressing for two reasons, though. [...]

All praises due to Mello Music Group. Time and time again, they lace hard drives across the country with quality music, giving shine to a variety of underexposed artists. Today, as part of the “Free Friday” series they’ve been running all summer, they let Oddisee’s “101” out to the masses. That’s a pretty good deal, considering talented emcees like Little Brother, Phonte, Jean Grae, MED and J-Live appear on the guest list, and Oddisee, Flying Lotus and M-Phazes show up behind the boards. If you’re on the fence, check “Song For That.” Right now, it’s hitting [...]
