The always prolific Oddisee is preparing to release his newest instrumental project, an ode to the Washington DC's famous Rock Creek Park. The new album (a warm up for his proper solo coming this winter) features heavy live instrumentation alongside rich samples that gives the new project a sonically full 3-dimensional sound. Today, Oddisee offers up the first Rock Creek Park instrumental single, The Carter Barron.
The Song:
The Carter Barron is a smooth, sweeping track, with amazing drums performed by DC's Jon Laine, bass from DC's Dennis Turner, keys from the always dependable Ralph Real, soulful sampling, trademark expansive synth work from Oddisee and beautiful orchestration.
A Short History:
The Carter Barron is named after the park's amphitheatre, a 4,200 seat outdoor performance venue in Washington, DC. Located in Rock Creek Park. The amphitheatre opened in 1950 in honor of the 150th Anniversary of Washington, DC as the nation's capital. The National Park Service operates Carter Barron, offering a variety of quality performances, including Hip-Hop, reggae, Latin, classical, gospel, musicals, pop, R&B, jazz, new age, theater, and dance. Many of the performances are provided free of charge. The Carter Barron has seen performances from Harry Belafonte, Louis Armstrong, the Temptations, Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, B.B. King, the O'Jays, Smokey Robinson, and The Four Tops.

Great treatment of one of the best voices ever. Curtis = Love.
@kurtfromMichigan
This beat is just....wow! It pairs perfectly after a hard day at work with a splif out on the balcony or porch just looking at your surroundings and being thankful for what you have.
I deal with a little depression from time to time and stress from work and life likes to knock at my back door but man this beat right here is the medicine.
Im ashamed to say i found Oddisee only a little over a year ago, "own appeal" was the first song of his i ever heard and was hooked 20 seconds in. Back of my mind, going on, ect ect.....good company is such a good band too man its just so much. So many tracks.
Now as im starting to get into his instrumentals its just like damn Oddisee.....so much talent is in this man and he stays so humble which makes me love the man so much more. Much respect to you sir, i hope you scan thru the comments and read this one brother. Im looking forward to catching your next show near Michigan. Willing to travel a state if needed lol. Keep on keepin on.

@theodorehuxtable6001
I heard Busta talk in some interview about hearing something so beautiful + dope it makes you wanna cry. This is that.
@thexiafury3104
That was lyrics to go by tribe called quest
@soulstar9515
Thought I was the only one, I'm sold in this brother's joints
@iprofessionalamateur
@TheXiafury Lyrics to go was Dope. And this is Dope. So one thing for sure, whatever Basta was referencing was dope.
@sprograis
All I can say is thank you for making this joint. True brilliance.
