The 30th Song is the first studio album by American hip hop producer Mr. Dibbs. It was released on Rhymesayers Entertainment in 2003.[5]

Reception

Cameron Macdonald of XLR8R gave The 30th Song a favorable review and said, "Dibbs's earthy beats are deftly heightened by swamp-rat guitar riffs, smeared violas, strutting basslines and the odd children's record or two."[4] John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "Poised halfway between the grandiose sonic austerity of DJ Shadow and the turntable madness of most turntablists, Mr. Dibbs shows how it's able to age gracefully in hip-hop."[1]

The 30th Song was ranked at number 27 on CMJ New Music Report's Hip-Hop 2003 chart.[6]
