I think he said himself that he doesn't want to become as popular as those artist. he's happy with his life. he also produces songs and sells them to "big" artist. so he's living good
i agree, he's definitely doing good for himself and making a solid living, but you cant convince me that he would not want that kind of success, everyone who makes good music want it to reach the widest audience possible
I know this is pretty late, but he reaches who listens to his music. In an interview and in his music he talked about how his fans (us) think that he's under rated and should be top 10's, 5's, etc. He doesn't care about the awards, and fame. He makes music for the passion of it and could careless if some other cats think he should be in the top 20 or not.
i recommend a guy called raiza biza if you dont know him- lives in New Zealand now but originally from africa. hes one of my favourite artists right now, his lp called dream something is outstanding
Altair2990 my pleasure man, feel free to repay the favour if you got anybody I should know about :) Btw, as far as New Zealand rap goes, you may want to check out a group called home brew (if you're tolerant of accents that is). Same crew as raiza, some of their stuff is really dope too
In a perfect world, hip-hop like this would be played on the radio. In the mean time, thank God for youtube. Blessings to Oddisee for never dumbing it down.
Always respected and appreciated the candor of real hip hop artists like Oddisee. Almost 2023 and still one of my top tracks. Nothing beats listening to this coming back home late at night after a shitty day. 🙏 big love to y'all out there struggling!
Man, I just randomly heard one of ODDISEE's songs in a video and I IMMAEDIATELY had to ask for the song name to further my research of this underrated talent. I've listened to a bunch of songs and can I just say, holy shit i've been missing out on such raw talent. Rap at it's purest and finest form. The description in the video made it all the more better. Hoping for more songs to come!
Those exact words "i'm trying to be a better person, everytime i get ahead, i worsen." is straight fucking truth. I'm still trying to grow and be a better person but all that i feel is that I'm just turning out to be the opposite. Word up oddisee. Tangible dreams and the good fight speaks real truth to my life. Keep it up
On g bruh, specially cuz I’m fw this really beautiful girl and I really want to get ahead so shit could be smoother in my opinion. But that aim the way ig, I got to relax and b me yk. I
why try to be "better" tho i dont think you can be better than yourself just be who you are just dont try to be someone you are not because then you will worsen
Oddisee easily makes a case for one of the most underrated Hip-Hop acts of the last decade. Fluid delivery punctuates smooth, soulful beats resulting in songs that make you notice. His carefully crafted verses speak assuredly of a man who is on a mission to uncover the disparities of being a black man in America. Something everyone has tried. But only the Oddisee gets close.
GodspeedHero My first thoughts also. I'm often inclined to pirate shit but I feel like this guy deserves a lot of respect. If more artists like this get their name out, pure artistic rap might yet make a come back.
Artists like this are who make me laugh when people want to say hip-hop is dead. Peace and Love to you and your people Oddisee. Thanks for giving the people what they need.
We are not our bodies. We are not our minds. We are our souls. When we can understand and control our minds, then we can transcend into life through the soul (pure bliss and happiness). If not, we get trapped in our minds and reality is a rollercoaster. Elevate.
Not even exaggerating , this guy may be the best artist in the game. notice i didnt say rapper. i mean in the whole realm of music he is definitley in my top 5. he understands how powerful music is and he won't waste it and fill the minds of his audience with " pussy money hoes weed cash swag swag". much love from virginia beach bro.
I "stumbled" upon this artist on Apple Music's Jazz Grooves station and I'm blown away by his music and lyrical content, he's definitely a breath of fresh air...Oddisee is definitely in my rotation!
Latest addition of what's been missing. Oddisee's travels through life documented over DOPE rhymes & beats. Never ceasing to amaze with creativity and relevance.
2017 and still real hip hop has not touched the radio. This artist is way ahead of his time, he could suffer the Van Gogh effect and never be known the way he should've been until his death. May blessings be with you Oddisee, true talent and the best lyricist out since Tangible Dream hands down.
Oddisee with the realest shit I ever heard. It sounds like tryna heal a spiritual-emotional wound while everyone else is making new physical ones on themselves and others.
This was my shit back when it came out and helped me get trough some bad shit in my life. Haven';t listen to it in years and now it came randomly into my playlist. I'm going through the same phase, but this song helps so much.
It is an interesting experience coming across artists like Oddisee at young ages. I was 10 when I first heard this. It connects with those that are introspective.
on another Oddisee/TH-cam rabbit hole trip. happens every time he drops a new song. I always click on his old vids and before I know I've wasted a hole day at work. Maybe 'waste' is the wrong word.. Odd is just so damn good.
I absolutely LOVE this man, fuck! The quality he delivers, the honesty, the raw realness... it's all I need for rap to be, I say for me he's a G.O.A.T in his own right. That's all that matters.
sadly to say but. music like this were easy to find back in days, but now its more than underground and very unique in this new generation. im very glad and happy i've heared this track. its amazing, Peace
This aside he left here in the info is too deep. Oddisee, you've been a very big influence to myself and many, your ability to be versatile in any situation and always drop sustenance is ridiculous. For the longest time there wasn't the biggest catalogue of your writing available, and it's growing, and all of us day one fans are so proud. Never stop man, and please do some more work with the low budget crew. Has to be my favourite collection of musicians/lyricists. Is Kenn starr still around? Peace from canada :)
Oddisee's songs have arrived all the way down here in Guatemala to be heard among all friends while rolling a blunt and chilling or just hanging in Traffic trying to rap like he does. This dude is the bomb, the Soundcloud channel is very complete and he has some other dope songs as well. You all should hear “Invisible walls”, “From Largo with Love” and “The gold is mine”. NOT BRONZE NOR SILVER I’M FOREVER WINNING.
This music is like tasting a AAAA steak cooked to perfection paired with the best of wines. Like the deep breath of air after a fresh rain that gives you a small chill. Like the rare moment, when you look around and genuinely feel like the world is a wonderful place and everything is gonna be okay. Thank you ODDISEE, thank you very much.
Channeled me bruh. Thanks for another beautiful track. I don't remember where I came across your music (think It was a DJ Jazzy Jeff tape many yrs ago) but I'm so glad I did. Peace.
This guy should get famous, instead of those rich untalented kids. He is a genius rapper and producer. I have listened to all of his work. He is like DOPE.
This rapper is dope but not all people wanna make superstar status. Some don't wanna sign a record label he may just wanna live there dream out by doing what they love to do besides working for others work for yourself
![Evidence - Powder Cocaine feat. Slug (Prod. By Alchemist) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/pmUY_T5fPW4/mqdefault.jpg)
honestly, if Kendrick and J.cole can make it to superstar status, then oddisee deserves the same, the quality of his music speaks for itself...
I think he said himself that he doesn't want to become as popular as those artist. he's happy with his life. he also produces songs and sells them to "big" artist. so he's living good
i agree, he's definitely doing good for himself and making a solid living, but you cant convince me that he would not want that kind of success, everyone who makes good music want it to reach the widest audience possible
Hey Victor are Kendrick and J. Cole some of your favorite rap artists?
I know this is pretty late, but he reaches who listens to his music. In an interview and in his music he talked about how his fans (us) think that he's under rated and should be top 10's, 5's, etc. He doesn't care about the awards, and fame. He makes music for the passion of it and could careless if some other cats think he should be in the top 20 or not.
yes he is, he's beyond.
oddisee I am an old head been a hip hop head since 85 and I have to say youre one of the best out in the last 15 yrs
im 33. maybe not as old lol but i feel you :) such a great change. peace
hip hop heads appreciate oddisee because he obviously is one
i recommend a guy called raiza biza if you dont know him- lives in New Zealand now but originally from africa. hes one of my favourite artists right now, his lp called dream something is outstanding
Yo thank you for that comment, u got me hooked on that album now. Its hard to find decent hip hop and rap music nowadays
Altair2990 my pleasure man, feel free to repay the favour if you got anybody I should know about :) Btw, as far as New Zealand rap goes, you may want to check out a group called home brew (if you're tolerant of accents that is). Same crew as raiza, some of their stuff is really dope too

2024 and this offers sanity during a night drive during these wild times of change.
Oddisee is this kind of music you listen to in solitude on chilly autumn evenings
Facts
ODDISEE, Clear Soul Forces & Awon & Phoniks heavily underrated.
Throw in Kooley High too.
Severely underrated. I admire this man's music immensely.
No doubt fam. He has just kept evolving more and more
Man, I just randomly heard one of ODDISEE's songs in a video and I IMMAEDIATELY had to ask for the song name to further my research of this underrated talent.

You and me both, glad to have came across this lyrically inclined boss.
i'm in the club from this day on, this_is_so_good.
gotta pay credit where credit is due. Good music is like a seasoned stake to chew
Sham Wow I accidentally just found out about him on Spotify while searching for Kendrick's new "Mortal Man" and came across "Yeezus Was a Mortal Man."
He's great🙌
Those exact words "i'm trying to be a better person, everytime i get ahead, i worsen." is straight fucking truth. I'm still trying to grow and be a better person but all that i feel is that I'm just turning out to be the opposite. Word up oddisee. Tangible dreams and the good fight speaks real truth to my life.

why try to be "better" tho i dont think you can be better than yourself just be who you are just dont try to be someone you are not because then you will worsen
Least you're trying, bruv. That counts for something. Dunno what, but better than nothing and that HAS to mean SOMETHING.
I just put my headphones on and let the chills run through my body as I listen to this masterpiece! 💯👌

THere is something magical about mello music group, there is so much potential and talent but yet noone knows them
the beat is the personification of perfection
+David Sabethai look up the definition of personification bruh
touché dude I had a feeling I was using the wrong word hahah. im foreign though so I 'm excused:)
+David Sabethai you were almost right
+David Sabethai manifestation is the word you are looking for
+Lynch Smith "epitome"?
Where can I send this magnificent artist my hard-earned money?
***** Thank you guys. I ended up buying two of his albums on Bandcamp. The Good Fight and Rock Creek Park. Fantastic stuff.
Caught him in Tampa not long ago, the live band playing with him this tour is just out of this world.
GodspeedHero My first thoughts also. I'm often inclined to pirate shit but I feel like this guy deserves a lot of respect. If more artists like this get their name out, pure artistic rap might yet make a come back.
GodspeedHero feel that 🔥🔥
Bob Dearing wait what??? I live in Tampa I been trying to catch his shows locally I thought Tampa was forgotten
this man is a lyrical genius fr
Artists like this are who make me laugh when people want to say hip-hop is dead. Peace and Love to you and your people Oddisee. Thanks for giving the people what they need.
When I listen to this man I'm able to forget about everything for a moment. Thank you for that.
His music really does have this impact.
Man, respect for that beat, for that lyrics and this dope video.
I love the drums on this beat and the vibe of the road in the video is awesome too, especially at the ending part..... 🛣
This dude is the truth.
Hands Down MY FAVORITE track my Oddisee, Masterpiece! That first verse 🙌🏾
Yes bro! My fav too. The visuals went perfect with the song too. This is an overall masterpiece
My thoughts exacty Fam...

Definatley one of a kind I like how he always kept true to his roots . Didnt change stay the same.
Well put! He's amazing!!
Beautiful track, what an absolute blessing to start the day off hearing music like this...Peace/MaxRespect Due!!
I "stumbled" upon this artist on Apple Music's Jazz Grooves station and I'm blown away by his music and lyrical content, he's definitely a breath of fresh air...Oddisee is definitely in my rotation!
Latest addition of what's been missing. Oddisee's travels through life documented over DOPE rhymes & beats. Never ceasing to amaze with creativity and relevance.
Dude is Epic....
Luv his work.... All of it is good. No single favorite.
Oddisee is the man
I don't know why, but I absolutely love this lyric: "Welcome to the back of my mind
Where brain cells are chained cells, locked in solitary confine."
2023 and I'm still dealing with what goes on in the back of my mind...
So happy to see real hip hop is coming back more and more THANK YOU!
This Young Man Walks With The Almighty. No doubt about it. Truth always prevails. Always! Being honest with yourself is the TOUGHEST struggle.
Instant classic. Many thanks for pouring your heart out...With your words and beats. Oddisee is keeping it true.
2017 and still real hip hop has not touched the radio. This artist is way ahead of his time, he could suffer the Van Gogh effect and never be known the way he should've been until his death. May blessings be with you Oddisee, true talent and the best lyricist out since Tangible Dream hands down.
Oddisee with the realest shit I ever heard.
It sounds like tryna heal a spiritual-emotional wound while everyone else is making new physical ones on themselves and others.
2:14...DEEP, TRUTHFUL, LYRICAL...WOW
This was my shit back when it came out and helped me get trough some bad shit in my life. Haven';t listen to it in years and now it came randomly into my playlist. I'm going through the same phase, but this song helps so much.
I come back to this work soooo much. So much in these bars💜💜💜
It is an interesting experience coming across artists like Oddisee at young ages. I was 10 when I first heard this. It connects with those that are introspective.
on another Oddisee/TH-cam rabbit hole trip. happens every time he drops a new song. I always click on his old vids and before I know I've wasted a hole day at work. Maybe 'waste' is the wrong word.. Odd is just so damn good.
i never thought this generation would have a guy like Oddisee. so far loving his stuff.
hip-hop still lives!!
one of the most underrated in hip-hop. he lives right in the president's back yard and barack don't even know it lol! dope son!
I absolutely LOVE this man, fuck! The quality he delivers, the honesty, the raw realness... it's all I need for rap to be, I say for me he's a G.O.A.T in his own right. That's all that matters.
Saying that ODDISEE is DOPE would be a understatement.
highly educated hip-hop, lets appreciate.....too damn great
And his production. This dude is the embodiment of his creation. Best live hip hop show as well. No words. Thank you Amir
Fresh account this will be the first song added to my playlist
Oddisee should be way more known .
ouain t mieu de ten souvenir ahahha
christopher baur je vais tâcher de m'en souvenir !

JeMeSouvienPu no. i speak russian and english
Best DMV native artist, period.
Hip hop approves.
I'm completely stunned listening to his rhymes and the crystal production
the vibe behind this track is sick
oddisee is always working. Never stops to rest. Another flawless production
sadly to say but. music like this were easy to find back in days, but now its more than underground and very unique in this new generation. im very glad and happy i've heared this track. its amazing, Peace
cannot even grasp how grand this track is... I just know that my ears and brain feel high. I think you just saved Hip Hop.
Amazing sound, amazing beat, amazing lyrics.. love this guy
I just made an ODDISEE playlist to help me get through late night photo editing work. Sooooo good. So good.
This beat is filled with emotion, I respect this music.

Oddisee is the best. I have such good memories chillin to his tunes with my brother. I love this man and his music. Amazing soul out into it ❤❤❤❤
B-e-a-utiful!!
This aside he left here in the info is too deep. Oddisee, you've been a very big influence to myself and many, your ability to be versatile in any situation and always drop sustenance is ridiculous.

HE is so underrated I love him can relate!!
Again, can't believe you finally got your lyrics over those beats. Fantastic. Love ya Oddisee. Long time fan.
Wow - just discovered this ARTIST! Real music does still exist, you just have to work past the traffic. What a lovely section of youtube
Oddisee has to be one of my favorite artists on this channel.
Oddisee's songs have arrived all the way down here in Guatemala to be heard among all friends while rolling a blunt and chilling or just hanging in Traffic trying to rap like he does. This dude is the bomb, the Soundcloud channel is very complete and he has some other dope songs as well. You all should hear “Invisible walls”, “From Largo with Love” and “The gold is mine”.

Some of the realest music to ever bless my ears.
How did I not find him until now??? 4 years after the song releases I find it and I can't stop listening
real raw talent
Ill strait up and down!...Salute the homey!
This music is like tasting a AAAA steak cooked to perfection paired with the best of wines. Like the deep breath of air after a fresh rain that gives you a small chill. Like the rare moment, when you look around and genuinely feel like the world is a wonderful place and everything is gonna be okay. Thank you ODDISEE, thank you very much.
Dope!
Comme à son habitude Oddisee fait les choses biens ! C'est simple, efficace !
Channeled me bruh. Thanks for another beautiful track. I don't remember where I came across your music (think It was a DJ Jazzy Jeff tape many yrs ago) but I'm so glad I did. Peace.

Got this song memorized . Thanks for this bro . Hip hop
Oh my god, the rhymes and the video are both super-dope.
Such a beautiful song. Real rap is alive
Yes Yes. Love some Oddisee.
Quality Content. Double snaps
clean as always
Oddisee is sooo iLL man.. Tangible dream best project to date
This guy should get famous, instead of those rich untalented kids. He is a genius rapper and producer. I have listened to all of his work. He is like DOPE.
This rapper is dope but not all people wanna make superstar status. Some don't wanna sign a record label he may just wanna live there dream out by doing what they love to do besides working for others work for yourself

"This is what is, cut throat is this biz. You either hold the knife or hold the wound, Im trying to live"! Whooaaa..............
Most slept on MC of my time. Tragic this dude doesn't have a billion dollar record deal
real music. real message. real hip hop
Still come back to this. Its in the back of my mind

This is not a rapper he is a poet and it's great
