Defari 'Odds and Evens' album

Since the release of his classic debut album, Focused Daily, and most notably, his memorable guest appearance on Dr Dre's multi platinum release Chronic 2001, Defari left many people starving for more. Well, Defari is back on the chart path with a brand new album entitled Odds And Evens, out on July 15th on Herut Music/ High Times Records.

Odds And Evens features top-notch production from West Coast veteran Evidence (Dilated Peoples), E-Swift (Tha Liks), Fred Wreck (Snoop), and Barbershop Kiz, as well as production by up-and-coming talent Nucleus and Porse. The album is also peppered with guest appearances by some of L.A.?s most remarkable emcees J-Ro and Tash of tha Liks, and Evidence and Rakaa Iriscience of Dilated Peoples.

Throughout his stunning second album, Odds And Evens, Defari proves why he?s one of the most important rappers to emerge from Los Angeles in the last decade. In fact, after a distinguished career built on respect and dedication to his craft and dealing with the frustration often associated with the music industry, Defari beat the odds and is finally getting even. "It?s something that really explains my journey," Defari says of the new album?s title. "When you hear the album, you?ll get a culmination of not only my maturity, but my journey throughout the game."

Look for Defari to hit the road later this year in support of Odds And Evens.

About Defari
Over the past five years, the West Coast Hip-hop Scene has undergone a major resurgence. A major player in this renaissance has been that LA Cat and true Likwit Emcee, Defari. Defari's relationship with hip-hop first began in 1982 as a DJ and later evolved into a new phase in 1987 when he began emceeing. 1995 marked Defari's debut on wax in the form of "Big Up", a song produced by E-Swift and featured on Immortal?s Next Chapter Compilation. In 1997, Defari teamed with producer-emcee Evidence of Dilated Peoples and dropped two highly regarded singles, "Bionic b/w Change & Switch" and "People?s Choice b/w Bottom Line" on ABB Records. Defari gained notoriety and built a reputation as an artist whose music transcended regional barriers. Since then, Defari has experienced both the glory and the disappointment often associated with the music industry. His deal with Tommy Boy Records ended shortly after his debut album, Focused Daily dropped. However, this was not the end for Defari but the beginning of much more fruitful career. He has been hard at work these last few years, spending the majority of them on the road and clocking-in studio time with Dr. Dre, Xzibit, Tha Liks, Dilated Peoples, Cypress Hill, and The High & Mighty. He also recorded and released two new singles on ABB, both of which have sold over 16,000 units to date. With so much on his plate, Defari still made the time to begin working on his sophomore release entitled Odds & Evens scheduled to drop this summer on Herut Music/ High Times Records.
