Oddisee – “Belong To The World” (Video)

Never was the cool dude… never was the suave guy… more like the odd guy…
Oddisee

One more from “The Good Fight” LP. Oddisee presents visuals for “Belong To The World.”

“Belong to the World” is a song about making a transition from feeling like I didn’t fit into anything, into understanding we belong to everything. It is a song about understanding that the world is bigger than the small things we want to be a part of.

NPR: “Tiny Desk Concerts” Series Welcomes Oddisee (Video)

One of my favorite albums of 2015 so far is The Good Fight by Oddisee.  So when NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series invited the DC emcee to come perform some tracks off his new album I was excited.  Oddisee does not disappoint with his performance backed by a live two piece band he rocks the NPR offices.  Performing the tracks That’s Love, Contradiction’s Maze, and Belong to the World he got the crowd involved and sounded as clear as he does on the album.  It’s refreshing to see a Hip Hop artist rock a show no frills no loud screaming and 20 people on stage and still have the crowd enthralled by the performance.  Good job fighting the Good Fight Oddisee!

Oddisee Talks ‘The Good Fight’, Opportunity To Work with Dr. Dre’s Aftermath & Being True To Himself (Video)

In today’s scope of Hip Hop most artists seek out the limelight and love talking about how well they are doing. The Artist/Producer Oddisee is quite the opposite is he dedicated to his craft and concerned with being the best performer he can be absolutely.  Does he concern himself with the fact he might not get certain props or being tracked down by certain rappers for beats negative.  Oddisee has a new album out “The Good Fight” and it is a self produced album exhibiting some of his best work (my personal opinion).  He recently sat down with Rosenberg at Hot 97 to discuss what he has been up to.

Oddisee – “Belong To The World”

oddisee-good-fight

Love, honesty, and selflessness… that’s how Oddisee fights “The Good Fight.” It’s virtue meets Hip-Hop virtuoso.

For Oddisee, “The Good Fight” is about living fully as a musician without succumbing to the traps of hedonism, avarice, and materialism. It’s music that yields an intangible feeling: the sacral sound of an organ whine, brass horns, or a cymbal crash. It’s a meditation on our capacity to love and the bonds binding us together. It’s our ambition and greed warring with our sense of propriety – a list of paradoxes we all face when living and striving.

Even with the stacked odds against good music, and even good people, Oddisee refuses to submit. And look: To win the hearts and minds of people… FREE music! Sure you can stream “The Good Fight” (album), and buy if you like. But he goes further. Giving away a single (“Belong To The World”). Give it a listen. Hit the link below.

Oddisee – “CounterClockwise” (Video)

Oddisee’s produced a li’l jazzy some’n some’n for you all to grove to. It’s like he’s rhyming right in the grooves of the track, too (for all you heads that remember when vinyl was king). The “CounterClockwise” single will definitely be on his album “The Good Fight” (due out May 5, 2015).

“CounterClockwise” is about being there for people & them working against you as a result. Becoming the bearer of their problems because they know you can handle it.
Oddisee

Interesting. Enjoy the visuals. See if you get what Oddisee is trying to get across while he’s walking across, here to there.

Phonte – “The Good Fight” (Video)

Phonte drops a brand new video directed by Kenneth Price for “The Good Fight” which is one of my favorite songs to bang out on the radio show.  Not only is the subject matter relevant to the times right now, but the production on the track from 9th Wonder snaps too. Phontigallo’s ‘Charity Starts At Home” album was one of our picks for “Best Hip Hop Album Of 2011” & the North Carolina emcee, singer, songwriter, & part-time comedian is keeping the videos coming in 2012 from this incredibly dope album….

Phonte – ‘The Good Fight’ (Prod. By 9th Wonder)

Another leak from Phonte’s upcoming solo effort Charity Starts at Home which drops September 27th with the rest of the hip hop world. Some genuinely real words affecting many talented artists are spoken on this track from Phontigallo…
