Instrumental beat brilliance from Amir Mohamed el Khalifa. Following 2012's People Hear What They See, The Beauty In All continues Oddisee's sonic journey into soulful and introspective beats with a hopeful, true school aesthetic, stepping up once again to bless ears with his impeccable production skills. As with his other albums, this one is all about good vibes. There's something earnest and true about these beats, that is lacking in a lot of current hip-hop production and makes for a rewarding listen all the way through. From Oddisee himself - "This record is dedicated to imperfection and the sense of pride & accomplishment we get from our struggles. Hopefully, you listen to this record, reflect on the ups & downs of life, and see the beauty in all." 13 tracks released by Mello Music Group, recommended.
