Oddisee

What They'll Say ft. Gary Clark Jr & Maimouna Youseff

We've sung Oddisee's praises more times than we can count, but you can't blame us for that being the case. Some hip-hop artists rely exclusively on interesting inflection, linguistic swiftness, or braggadocio to capture attention and generate intrigue, but not this talented wordsmith, cultural savant, and overall and outright ambassador to all things creative and progressively so. There is nothing artificially included in his work; it's all the stuff of legitimacy, always, and that's precisely why we love him so much. By now, you'd better be familiar with the kind of artistic skill that Oddisee puts out, so we're not going to get into that. Instead, we'll simply direct you to our favorite cuts of his brand-new project below, and let all that he has to say be all that we have to say as well. One can learn quite a bit while listening to him speak (and, obviously, satisfy one's creative needs while doing so, too), so it's best that you get immersing yourself into works now. His entire aesthetic is one that artists, fans, and curious listeners of all walks of life can enjoy and emulate without regret. The Good Fight is out on digital retailers like iTunes and Bandcamp now, and physical copies of the project come out May 5.
