| Finale needed to live. Such a fundamental and basic idea often gets |
| overlooked in the fast food mentality of popular culture. You can |
| make music without something to say, but it rarely lasts. The records |
| that stick with us are usually those with a deeper understanding of |
| the complexities of life: every day choices we make, those selfish |
| and selfless acts that comprise our daily existence. Odds and Ends |
| captures those elemental contradictions. Produced entirely by |
| Oddisee, it marks Finale's return following a half-decade hiatus. In |
| that span, the Detroit stalwart took a break to experience growth in |
| his life. He came to terms with his place in the world, endured |
| regrets, and wrote relatable stories about himself, and those around |
| him. On paper, this might sound like a sensitive mellow lazy summer |
| record. The exact opposite is true. Odds and Ends hits like a pipe |
| bomb. It's as hard as the galvanized steel at the Motor City |
| factories that used to employ Finale. "Choppy Waters" is a rattling |
| slapping sheep-eviscerating rant over a 64-bit video game beat. The |
| production on "Cut Day" sounds made for an intergalactic space brawl, |
| but the lyrics paint a picture of contemporary woes (no Drake). You |
| feel the hunger pangs, the derision for fools, and the looming |
| specter of death. This is hard-nosed, guard-your-grill, |
| chop-down-the-roster Detroit hip-hop-rap in serrated and raw form. As |
| Finale says himself: forget all that extra shit, just spit. There's |
| an almost apocalyptic vibe that matches the wreckage of the most |
| abandoned parts of the city. But there's also the unusual warmth that |
| only Oddisee's production can supply. It's like Showbiz & AG or |
| Jaylib updated to contemporary times and folded into the DMV |
| producer's own syncopation and singular chop style. Meanwhile, Finale |
| tells sagas of dead-end jobs, incompetent bosses, political |
| frustrations, and fears of the world that his son will grow up in. |
| Cameos occur from a-alikes Homeboy Sandman and Bilal Salaam, Kenn |
| Star and Big Tone, but the show belongs to Finale-back from hiatus, |
| rapping like he's ripping shoulders out of sockets. Pitchfork said |
| about his last album, 2009's, A Pipe Dream and A Promise: "there are |
| so few MCs working today who are able to carry this much of an album |
| on their own." Since then, Finale's only mastered the art and refused |
| to allow it to be disposable. This is a record for the family that he |
| gained and the friends, collaborators and leeches that stuck around |
| when he didn't have anything left to give. It's for ones lost along |
| the way while he tried to find something more than what he had to |
| begin with. This isn't the same Finale. Struggle and success seep |
| through every word. It's music on its own terms. He picked the mic |
| back up and shut the competition down. |
