Sept. 22, 2020 | Suraya Mohamed - In 2015, Oddisee visited the Tiny Desk with a drummer and a keyboardist. For his Tiny Desk (home) concert, he assembled his full band, Good Company, for the first time since the global pandemic cancelled their tour last spring. They rehearsed the day before this capture at Assorted Studios in York, Penn., the midway point between the members' hometowns of Philadelphia, New York City and Washington D.C. They picked this facility because it felt more like a living room than a studio. And to make it feel as cozy as possible, they brought memorabilia from their own homes. Bass player Dennis Turner brought family photos, Ralph Real (on the Fender Rhodes) brought his son's toy drum set, and Oddisee brought tribal statues from Sudan.
The five captivating songs are from his new EP, Odd Cure, "a record I didn't want to write but needed to," Oddisee said in July. He wrote it in eight weeks, between March and May, while in self-isolation. He had just returned from a performance in Thailand and wanted to protect his family. Oddisee says these songs were inspired by the deluge of news, social media, misinformation and conspiracy theories generated during the first weeks of the pandemic. Relevant and inspiring, his music and its message addresses the uncertainty and anxiety we all live with today.

ABOUT THE SERIES
The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Nothing beats the feeling
of watching
*The Glorious Return of Mighty Oddisee in Tiny Desk.*
I heard the drummer was lost in the wilderness with no watch or phone and when they found him 3 years later he knew what second it was.
hahahhahaa
Clever one, I like it
That sounds like one helluva story😂
🙌🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Good One Bro-Bro!
I have no idea how this guy isn't enormously popular. Seen him 4 times in Nashville, never with more than 20 some people in the crowd, and this dude and his band SMOKE live. Just cook up hot funk and rhymes, and are so on point and just in the pocket with their groove. Simply masterful.
im planning on seeing him at some point
Saw him at el club in Detroit. He's Hella good live, kept crowd control 100% it was a great night. He stuck around for a while to sign records or whatever and was just mad cool and humble.
He’ll be in Nashville again July 16 at City Winery. Will be my first time seeing him. So excited 🎉
Because no one promotes conscious intelligent hip hop. It's the sad reality of America. Even to this day the business psychos exploit black men to rap about violence, drug's, death. And GREATS LIKE ODDISEE GETS LOST IN THE PILE OF OVER PRODUCED AND PROMOTED GARBAGE
@randallbarrett332 awesome for u enjoy 🙂
I swear these guys deserve more shine.
Oddisse is a genius. I always loved jazz inspired hiphop beats and when I heard this dude for the first time I was like this is it.
The perfect balance.
If you liked this,
Then you will love his albums The Iceberg and The Odd tape.
Yeah, I still play my vinyl of Iceberg most weeks. He & the band underrated in the USA, but not in Europe , Oz, or Aotearoa/NZ
if you ever get a chance to see oddisee and his band live in the future, do not hesitate
Their live show goes crazy. Was always a massive fan of Oddisee's music but you've never heard it's full potential until you've seen it concert.
I saw him in my city about 5 years ago and there were barely any people there and he says something like "Feels like I'm performing in a living room." Still put on a solid show!
Always will be the best show you e ever scene… I’ve gone very far to always catch him live
Just snagged some tickets for later this year!
I'm going to see them in a month!
Man I wasnt sure anyone was gonna touch Anderson Paak and the free nationals or Tom Misch. But man these guys move my soul too. Thank you good company band and Oddisee!
If you like Anderson paak you should watch Saba on tiny desk!
I missed his most recent Toronto show and have been kicking myself since
Oh yeh!
Badbadnotgood, Tank and the Bangers, HER, Christian Scott Adjuah

Oddissee is the essence of real Hip-Hop, the lyric, feel, rhythm & soul of what makes it contagiously addictive...

Гений это Моцарт, а Oddisee просто отличный музыкант
@@Andrey_SamZnaeshKakoi Как скажешь

everything about this is perfect... that bass especially
dude needs to hop on some tracks... he's too fire 💪
This may be the greatest Tiny Desk performance of all time... up there with Paak’s performance
Oddisee is so slept on its crazy
Yessss, the emboidement of underrated I love Oddisee

Дякую хлопці,дуже файно граїте,ви мій ковток повітря в 2022
that swiss girl sings beatiful. much love for this band !
The Latte Larry's shirt is so perfect hahahah. I love that he's rocking a Curb shirt. Amazing performance. Oddisee is the man.
"..when we get through, we gonna reform, communicate like we need to..." feels like i just took a sip out of a dripping wet, super cold can of my favorite soda pop yum
One of the few artists where I prefer their live albums.
St. Ezekiel killin that guitar!!! 🔥🔥🔥
The art of rap lives through artist like Oddisee.
Such an underrated artist.
Real hip-hop. Period.
One of my favorites, Keep rocking Oddisee.
You've got that soul man
Oddisee...whoa! Each time is a stop and chill moment. Clear and melodic flows from lyrics to instrumentals. 🔥💯
Extraordinary performance! Big respect for Oddisee.
odd cure was one of my favorite projects from this year
I saw them in concert when they came to Arizona last year they sounded amazing and they were extremely nice I remember Oddisee went out the back and came around the front so he could take pictures with the people who went to the show I remember getting one with them which I thought was awesome
That moment when the evening gets better...love this guy's music.
Oddisee is always gorgeous, pleasure for both eyes and ears, a positive vibe and the right thoughts are guaranteed! His EP is the best I've heard this year for me!
My first time listening to these Artists, Fabulous!!! I didn't have to fast forward through the performance at all, just good vibes the whole time! Sharing this❤️
Oddisee! The DMV's finest✊🏾
This was no concert. This was an experience. Thank you!!
Amir just stole the crown from AP.... All without leaving his home. Mad respect
Oddisee is dope . One of my favorite current artists !! Glad to see this !!

And again NPR turns me onto a great band I was completely unaware of. This is powerful.
Oddisee and Good Company bring enjoyment to my ear, been following him since his album 'Tangible Dream'
that Latte Larry's shirt tho
Looking it up now!! Can't imagine Larry David is selling these but would be genius.
i feel deeply connected
@@mattashley04 find anything??? Would buy one instantly lol
@@scotttydoesknow yea but nothing from HBO... But the one he has on is for sell in a few places for about 15 bucks. I might pull the trigger on one I saw on Etsy
AshleyDigital I remember seeing them on Instagram on a curb clips page or LD fan page. Btw the episode when Larry and Leon steal the beans is awesome
Geez Louise can you say musical GENIUS ⭐️🥰
can't wait for the next time I get to see Oddisee live, the whole band gives me life
Oddisee is such a dope artist! I love the vibes of his lyrics with a live band. Really fkin dope!!!
So good to see Oddisee and Good Compny back on Tiny Desk. These guys are some of the best in the business and a source of positivity. Beautiful people. Beautiful lyrics. Beautiful grooves. Stay up Good Compny, hope to see you perform live again soon.
You know I would pay for online concerts like this. An hour or less just works, no need for big show elements.

OMG I'm in love with Priya Ragu's voice!!!!
