Scarface of Geto Boys Speaks on Police Brutality

“If you see it’s fucked up, you got to say it. I don’t give a fuck if you’re white, black, green or brown, you’ve got to say it, ‘hey, that’s fucked up.'”

Peace & Love,

Oddisee | The Good Fight (2015 Album)

In a word, impeccable. Oddisee is an oddity among the thousands of hip hop artists who are fumbling around with old formulas and trying to replicate those their friends idolize. As much of the genre is meandering through mediocrity, Oddisee is truly blazing a unique trail.
