manuel valerio name'em because other than Tech Ni9e who has the fanbase & merch I don't think anyone puts a focus on Making good songs they would rather make Dope Dark raps I.e MF Doom
Brandon Standifer sorry that I trolled u but sometimes Us underground fans make it too easy I was only playing but oddisee brings up a point that has to tackled and maybe to me the underground tho there thriving in there own way the overall musicality can be better executive & maybe they wouldn't bitch about mainstream as much and this is coming from Oddisee a prominent figure within the underground circuit who doesn't like to be box to even that sort stance. I mean he pretty alluded to that in this discussion. Love MF DOOM Btw legend in the underground game let alone HIP HOP.
+Sean Ulloa nah you see I totally agree with everything that you and Oddisee are saying. I was just trippin because IMO DOOM is much more that just a supreme lyricist. Dude really has his own unique sound and inspired a lot of artist today, Pro Era I think being the most notable
+campfire247 You will NOT be disappointed man. Next thing you gotta do is see him live...that dude spit straight flames at the Chapel in SF last Tuesday. Funny as hell too.
In the Ruff (2009) (with yU and Uptown XO, as Diamond District) Traveling Man (Instrumental, 2010) Rock Creek Park (Instrumental, 2011) People Hear What They See (2012) The Beauty in All (Instrumental, 2013) Tangible Dream (2013) March on Washington (2014) (with yU and Uptown XO, as Diamond District) The Good Fight (2015) ...and those are just his studio albums. Start listening people!
I think I might cry. I love Oddisee sooo much. It breaks my heart that I missed BOTH of his shows in Philly last yr. I totally noticed that he didn't curse, and I most gratefully was able to play this album a million times for my 6 yr old. He knows & loves Oddisee too lol. I loved every minute of this interview & have subscribed! Thanks so much for existing, much love & appreciation 🤗
Geoffrey Woodland I've been loving him for years now, so glad Pandora put me on. Man I wish I could have been at those shows! I was listening to "Things" on repeat yesterday & saw that "The Iceberg" is coming and nearly flipped my shit lol definitely preordered even tho it won't be out until Feb. But Im so excited about the show, the album, and high fiving you if I see you at the show! lol #OddiseeFansUnite 🖖🏾
great interview. seems like a genuinely good dude. Diamond District's March on Washington record is still the best thing I've picked up from DEHH. still listen to that shit all the time. an instant classic for me
He came to Raleigh so years ago. His live performance was ridiculous. He walked looking like a nerd and show us he was a musical warrior. He was super humble after the show and shook everyone's hand. He's a rare gem in the music industry
Man, I'm a fan forever, what yous guys are doing is great, I always look for every review/interview that y'all putting out ! Again, I'm a fan forever . Peace from France.
Man, this guy is defitnitly one of my favourite Mcs, hes the reason im able to consider Hip Hop as my second love in music right now, he was the reason i converted from the alternative scence to Hip Hop at the first hand, great artist.
I normally don't comment on TH-cam videos, but this was dope. Just watching this has gave me some new insight on Hip-Hop I hadn't had before. Stay blessed brothers
I've been listening to Oddisee and Diamond District for a minute and i'm from D.C. so this was a cool interview to watch. Love the show and what u guys do.
thanks for interviewing my guy O, one of my favorite artists . I got a chance to see him in Nashville Tennessee this year . I love his work and feel a worldly perspective in his music . I noticed no profanity in good fight on first listen . dope album !
Really enjoyable interview to listen to. Thanks DEHH! He is amazing to watch live. I hope everyone who watches this gains interest in his music if they haven't listened to him before.
I grew up on hip hop and didn't mind cussing til I had kids. Although the N word always bothered me cause I didn't like re rapping the word. Now I always prefer listening to a clean version with or without the wife and kids around. Hip hop was a young mans game but that's changing. Grown man music!!!!
yes! thanks man. is it good quality thought. I still haven't listened to that other album because good to be home because of how it sounds. it hurts my ears.
This has been my dude for a min. Buy whatever vinyl I can of his because I want him to eat. lol He opened my eyes more to the DMV scene, with Low Budget, exposing me to Kev Brown, Kaimbr, Kenn Starr, etc.. and had one of the best collaboratives, Diamond District. Thank you O for always giving quality music and enlightening interviews. You have a forever supporter.
This interview was great. I've been listening to the "good fight" on a daily since it came out this just made me appreciate his music all that more. Big ups to @deadendhiphop and @oddisee for the interview keep doing your thing.
This is without a doubt the best interview dehh has done imo, the last 5 minutes where he was talking about his wife, and the way ken brought it all together left me speechless. And everything else he put light on, like how it's okay to embrace the digital age 100%, or about how swearing can becrease your audience, he said in such a way that made me be like "damn that's crazy". If yall will excuse me im gonna go listen to The Good Fight and Summertime '06 lol
I grew up in rural Canada. Hip-hop has always been seen as a joke, something to grow out of. Odd is an artist who can answer that view frankly, without compromising. Drama in small moments. People who question who I am as a person, one of the answers they get will be "Contradiction's Maze". Thanks DEHH for a great interview, thanks Odd for being so real. Peace.
This is mindblowing on so many levels.I actually thought he used all analog stuff, a lot of his records sound analog, it's crazy to hear him talk about his mobile laptop set up and not owning records!
I love his music and enjoyed watching an intelligent convo amongst black males with purpose. Not just for fame or recognition but for the love of music.
He's an artist who can articulate his perspective in such a profound way. Sonically, lyrically, technically...his artistry is forward-thinking and just fucking brilliant.
This was a pretty dope interview. To top it off, yall don't ask dumb questions. I'm going to check out his work. I know he produced an album for one of my FAVORITE Hip-Hop artist name 'Substantial' called, "Home Is Where The Art Is". I FORGOT to check this dude out. I've been hearing good things. MUCH Respect to DEHH. Yall do the same thing!
Kinda what I do. I buy the records of my favourite artists & listen to them through streaming services. It's a win/win situation. They get double the money & my CD's don't get scratched. Lmao.
that was a very intelligent interview I learned a lot myself on that one it's good to see C black man can get together and have a good conversation about music and The Business of it without condescending one another let's only hope if you make it that way 1
"Human beings need to categorize things in order to comprehend them because we fear what we don't understand. It makes it easier for us to process things. So put me in a box. Put me in as many boxes as possible."
Another Maryland based MC, "Substantial", has worked with oddisee and deserves some recognition as well. Very conscious rapper, been in the game since the early 2000's. Great to listen to his discography and hear his maturation through each release. Im sure DEHH is familiar with him, would love to hear their take on his discography and career.
bruh, I'm a HUG supporter of Substantial! I have ALL of his albums! Even "To This Union A Son Was Born". It's not in print anymore. I DEF need more people to be UP on his craft!
![NISAMANEE - TADA (ท้าดา) [ OFFICIAL MV ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hcQHEPMmJpU/mqdefault.jpg)
Oddisee always so well-articulated with his interviews
That interview was stupid good and crazy enlightening. At this point, I don't even care who you interview next. Just please do another one.
I know this was a dope interview, I wish it was longer. The thing he said about underground rappers agree!
"Yo, is Young Thug James Brown for trap music?"
ODD YOU JUST BLEW MY FUCKIN MIND
"Underground Rappers don't focus on Songs" - Odisee ✔✔✔
I do check my songs out
IMO some underground rappers want to be mainstream rappers.
manuel valerio name'em because other than Tech Ni9e who has the fanbase & merch I don't think anyone puts a focus on Making good songs they would rather make Dope Dark raps I.e MF Doom
Brandon Standifer sorry that I trolled u but sometimes Us underground fans make it too easy I was only playing but oddisee brings up a point that has to tackled and maybe to me the underground tho there thriving in there own way the overall musicality can be better executive & maybe they wouldn't bitch about mainstream as much and this is coming from Oddisee a prominent figure within the underground circuit who doesn't like to be box to even that sort stance. I mean he pretty alluded to that in this discussion. Love MF DOOM Btw legend in the underground game let alone HIP HOP.
+Sean Ulloa nah you see I totally agree with everything that you and Oddisee are saying. I was just trippin because IMO DOOM is much more that just a supreme lyricist. Dude really has his own unique sound and inspired a lot of artist today, Pro Era I think being the most notable
Dope interview. Cool to see Beezy happy for once.
+beezy430 lmfao outside looking in you are a "its cool" guy this interview u were exciting and enjoyed it more..
+chustlerm yeah he's just got that chill personality. I'm the same way lol
+beezy430 Are ya'll going to review Machine Gun Kelly "General Admission album" it's pretty dope 💯🔥🔥☺️
+ezwar99 chill
Abed Nadir fr he don't like no body but dillah bih lol
this interview is going to make me look through oddisee's whole discography.
After the interview ended went straight to google and typed Oddisee. This dude is Dope!
I know I can't believe I've never checked this guy out before
he is so tuffff. the good fight is great
Loooool same!
+campfire247 You will NOT be disappointed man. Next thing you gotta do is see him live...that dude spit straight flames at the Chapel in SF last Tuesday. Funny as hell too.
Dope interview. I'm about to go stream The Good Fight again and get Oddisee some of those streaming royalties lmao
+TheRisingMyth W
Buy the Vinyl bruh
Incredible interview. Very insightful....thank u deadendhiphop
Wish the interview was longer this dude was dope.
Interview of the year, no doubt. This dude observes the world in a unique way.
His intelligence is wisdom to my ears.......i really love & respect Oddisee music & his perspective mentality
In the Ruff (2009) (with yU and Uptown XO, as Diamond District)
Traveling Man (Instrumental, 2010)
Rock Creek Park (Instrumental, 2011)
People Hear What They See (2012)
The Beauty in All (Instrumental, 2013)
Tangible Dream (2013)
March on Washington (2014) (with yU and Uptown XO, as Diamond District)

LJs Journey he'll be in philly in April.
Geoffrey Woodland I got my ticket last Friday!! And better believe I'll be the first in line when he gets here lol I appreciate you for sharing!! 😁
LJs Journey I went to both shows at Johnny Brenda's. He is my favorite cat right now. I'm hype about his new record.
Geoffrey Woodland I've been loving him for years now, so glad Pandora put me on. Man I wish I could have been at those shows!

Man, they got Oddisee on! Hell yea!
Amazing interview and great conversation!
Love Oddisee yo. Real dude. I didn't want this to end. People need to recognize! He brought up some good topics y'all should talk about.
I never listened or heard of Oddisee, but this interview made me intrigued to listen to him. Hopefully, I like him.
+Ezequiel De La Torre Trust, you will. He's awesome!
Dope interview. Oddisee is one of my favorite emcees
Myke is to EL-P what Beezy is to Oddisee
Jordan Hancock brother ali?
man..... that last part was deep
keep up the great work guys love the content
Great interview. Great to hear someone in the music industry that doesn't shit all over the digital age and the current state of the music industry
He came to Raleigh so years ago. His live performance was ridiculous. He walked looking like a nerd and show us he was a musical warrior. He was super humble after the show and shook everyone's hand. He's a rare gem in the music industry
So many Gems!

WOW! Interview was amazing!!
I grew up on hip hop and didn't mind cussing til I had kids. Although the N word always bothered me cause I didn't like re rapping the word. Now I always prefer listening to a clean version with or without the wife and kids around.
Hip hop was a young mans game but that's changing. Grown man music!!!!
Great interview. I discovered Oddisee on TH-cam while looking for live hip hop bands. I've been a fan ever since.
interview blu next. btw blu and oddisee collab needs to happen
+Ari Miranda
does blu still rap? i remember him saying he doesn't wanna do it after 30.
+Simple Complexity he just dropped a collab like last week.
yes! thanks man. is it good quality thought. I still haven't listened to that other album because good to be home because of how it sounds. it hurts my ears.
+Simple Complexity it sounds good to me. dont expect to love it first listen. i didnt like it at first. after my 3rd listen, i love it

This has been my dude for a min.

This interview was featured on HipHopDX! Great stuff guys keep up the amazing work.
Love Oddisee. Great sit down you guys. This guy is so far ahead of his time.
Peace! Best interview I've seen in a while. Good work!
"Human beings need to categorize things in order to comprehend them, because we fear what we don't understand" - Oddisee
DAYUM...THAT WAS DEEP.
He just gave the music world a lecture!! we needed that
This is without a doubt the best interview dehh has done imo, the last 5 minutes where he was talking about his wife, and the way ken brought it all together left me speechless. And everything else he put light on, like how it's okay to embrace the digital age 100%, or about how swearing can becrease your audience, he said in such a way that made me be like "damn that's crazy". If yall will excuse me im gonna go listen to The Good Fight and Summertime '06 lol
I grew up in rural Canada. Hip-hop has always been seen as a joke, something to grow out of. Odd is an artist who can answer that view frankly, without compromising. Drama in small moments. People who question who I am as a person, one of the answers they get will be "Contradiction's Maze". Thanks DEHH for a great interview, thanks Odd for being so real. Peace.
I started listening to oddisee in 2010 I have 101, people see what they hear and the good fight I continue to support
Dropping knowledge wherever he goes, love this brother, such a brilliant mind
I miss when DEHH would review and interview artists like Oddisee, Skyzoo, etc. man, things really do change
Another great DEHH Interview.
This is a great interview! Well done, DEHH.
this is like the best interview i've ever seen.
This is mindblowing on so many levels.I actually thought he used all analog stuff, a lot of his records sound analog, it's crazy to hear him talk about his mobile laptop set up and not owning records!
Excellent interview. Good info and insight.
Amazing interview with a truly great artist.
Yo beezy you are almost as obssessed with mello music group as I am lol. Still listening to the night took us in like family because of u guys!
Seeing Beezy meet Oddisee makes me smile too
Dope interview. Oddisse is definitely an Ambassador for our culture.
Amazing interview, such a cool and humble dude. Hope I get to sit down and rap with that cat someday.
Never heard of this guy in my entire life and after this interview I HAVE to give his music a listen
Glad to see Oddisee is one of those rappers that has embraced new technology and hasn't held on to the past. Great interview as always guys!
He puts in a fantastic live show as well
this man is an underrated rapper/producer he really needs to be appreciated more
great interview! more of this please
I love his music and enjoyed watching an intelligent convo amongst black males with purpose. Not just for fame or recognition but for the love of music.
Loved his last album. "That's Love" is an amazing record.
The Undergound DMV's Kanye
Wow!!! This is awesome!!!
He's an artist who can articulate his perspective in such a profound way. Sonically, lyrically, technically...his artistry is forward-thinking and just fucking brilliant.
This was a pretty dope interview. To top it off, yall don't ask dumb questions. I'm going to check out his work.

I really wish these guys had a million subscribers they deserve it
He explains the area so well I'm so proud to be from around here.. DMV stand up
Great interview. Nice job guys.

GREAT interview!!
Kinda what I do. I buy the records of my favourite artists & listen to them through streaming services. It's a win/win situation. They get double the money & my CD's don't get scratched. Lmao.

This just left me smiling... Interwiew People Under The Stairs next please? Their fucking legends, above all. Its time that you do it.

Great interview.
"Human beings need to categorize things in order to comprehend them because we fear what we don't understand. It makes it easier for us to process things. So put me in a box. Put me in as many boxes as possible."
