\nAfter commanding attention on Diamond District\u2019s In The Ruff and his own Before Taxes project, last year\u2019s The Earn continued cementing yU the 78er as a substantive and skilled lyricist with something to say. Recently, his DMV brethren Oddissee remixed \u201cI Believe\u201d, one of the standout cuts from The Earn. Mello Music Group is proud to share the results with you. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Though the original took a more soulful route, Oddissee version is straight up and down unadulterated hip-hop. He blesses the track with a new chorus, reinforcing the song\u2019s motif on belief and playing the mello sidekick to yU\u2019s live verses. The drum-and-horn combination is an homage to the foundation\u2014producers like Large Professor, DJ Premiere and Diamond D\u2014that classic sound that bubbled from the Eastern seaboard decades ago. yU sounds right at home, too. The grit in his delivery seems to come through so clear, almost as if the listener is on a nameless block in D.C. and yU is inches away from your face, spittin\u2019 about how \u201cthe passion dictates the pace,\u201d and showing it.<\/p>\n

Continuing to rep for the DMV individually and as a unit, yU and Oddissee embody the relentless dedication and grind they reference so often.<\/p>\n
