Phonte & Oddisee Link For The Soul-Smashing Cut "Requiem"

Oddisee and Phonte unload a soulful sonic specimen with the release of their collaborative cut "Requiem" off Mello Music Group's massive forthcoming compilation album Persona. Seeped in the twangy, wahed-out six-string licks of Motown's golden cannon, the track finds Phonte and The Odd One delivering a tag-team routine of socially sharp lines that will pull on your pride and heart-strings all at once. Mello Music's Persona compilation will be hitting stores March 15th, celebrating the independent label's storied career as a generation-melding presence in hip-hop. The album will align the likes of its current stud roster, inlcuding Apollo Brown, yU, L'Orange, Red Pill, Open Mike Eagle, Rapper Big Pooh and Quelle Chris with timeless champions of the mic and MPC. Look for heavyweights like Blockhead, Ras Kass, Gift of Gab (of Blackalicious), Oh No, Masta Ace and Bilal Salaam to also make appearances on the colossal posse cut, adding their seasoned lyrical athleticism to the mix. While you're waiting, put your ears to Phonte and Oddisee's proper contribution "Requiem" below and preorder your copy of Persona on iTunes today. Keep it locked for all things Mello, Odd and Phonte ahead of the album's release.
