O.C. is an MC whose biggest albums are not necessarily his best selling. While, the Brooklyn/Queens, New York representative’s 1994 debut Word…Life is widely considered an incredible album, the Diggin’ In The Crates member has made works to follow that have stood just as tall. Recently, O’s Trophies effort with Apollo Brown topped many year-end-lists, and multiple pressings, despite not appearing on the Top 200 charts.

The onetime Hieroglyphics artist steps forth with a new EP, appropriately called Dive In. Available for full and free stream, the extended play pairs the decorated Crooklyn Dodgers lyricist with DJ/producer, Debonair P. Together, the two musicians make an engaging listen, full of wisdom, soul, and that crisp cadence that many Heads love.

The instrumentals are there too, for your listening pleasure.

Shouts to ego trip! on hipping us to this.

#BonusBeat: If you missed it in 2011, make sure you’re up on the aforementioned Trophies, also available for full stream:
