As a musician, life is often lived on the road. Each city leaves its imprint on the artist as they develop their craft. For Oddisee, the producer and MC brainchild behind 2009’s critically acclaimed Diamond District, the life and travels of the artist is no mystery. Touring, recording, and keeping up with friends and family took Oddisee beyond his hometown of Washington DC to Australia, Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. Rather than keep these experiences to himself, Oddisee is instead releasing a new 24-track instrumental album, sharing his worldly experiences – through music, directly with his fans; a 24 city sonic tour of the world. With this new release, Oddisee is the Traveling Man.

Being released digitally today and as a limited edition vinyl pressing on February 23rd, Traveling Man is an instrumental album truly influenced by the producer’s surroundings. Each track was produced while Oddisee stayed in the city it was titled after. No need for a passport because Oddisee sees the world, so that you can hear it. Listen up.

we appreciate the love, but if possible could you take down the link to the album. We just gave away a free album from Oddisee "OddWinter" on friday, and then released Traveling Man for sale on itunes & vinyl to try and recoup enough money to continue making music and doing the artwork. None of us is getting rich, we just want to be able to keep making good music. So while we're glad you're feeling it enough to post, can you eliminate the link to the free download.

Appreciated,
mello & Oddisee

Oddisee has done it again. This record is brilliant and it's not a wonder why this one is for purchasing and not Odd Winter :)
