Oddisee is an US-American rapper and producer from Washington, D.C. He is one third of rap trio Diamond District. He was also part of the Low Budget Crew. 

 

 

Oddisee was originally influenced by his parents' heritages, combined with a hip-hop influence from his older cousins. In an interview with NPR, he explained why he was influenced by early East Coast emcees such as Eric B. & Rakim, De La Soul, and A Tribe Called Quest. He stated that these rappers don't talk about drugs or murder, and he could relate more to their lyrics.

 

 

In 2010, Oddisee released Traveling Man on Mello Music Group. His Odd Spring mixtape was listed on the Washington Post's Best Local Hip-Hop mixtapes of 2010.

 

 

In 2011, Oddisee released Rock Creek Park, which was ranked as a Mixtape of the Week by Stereogum. Odd Seasons, a collection of EPs released throughout the previous 12 months, was also released that year.

 

In 2012, he released an album, People Hear What They See. The Beauty in All, his first instrumental release since Rock Creek Park, was released in 2013. In that year, he also released Tangible Dream.

 

In 2015, he released The Good Fight. In 2016, he released an EP, Alwasta, and a mixtape, The Odd Tape. In 2017, he released a studio album, The Iceberg, as well as a live album, Beneath the Surface.

 

 

In the second half of 2018, Oddisee and his team, Good Compny, once again opened a world-wide tour. From New York, Toronto, to Shanghai, music was fortunate enough to invite them to present their first full-band lineup in China. We even quite Confidently believe that this will be one of the most promising and weightful hip hop scenes of the year. In addition to the lyrics of the lost music and nutrients, we hope that everyone will re-test the charm of rap music and appreciate the power of language and faith.
