Oddisee on 10 years of 'The Good Fight', Freeway, J. Cole & his creative journey — interview

Описание: This year marks the 10th anniversary of Oddisee’s - dare we say classic - album "The Good Fight", which the multi-talented artist is celebrating with a special tour, revisiting the project on stages across the world - first in Europe, now in the US. We caught up with the Washington, D.C. rapper and producer right before his show with Good Compny band at Jassmine club in Warsaw, Poland, for an insightful, catalog-spanning interview.

The conversation touches on many topics - from Oddisee’s early days coming up on the scene and his first European tours & festivals, to working with J. Cole, their unreleased music, and being inspired by Philly legend Freeway. We also dive into his unique approach to writing lyrics, the art of building conceptual albums, crafting fan favorites like "Rock Creek Park", "That's Love", "Own Appeal", and Oddisee's upcoming plans with Mello Music Group!

Sit back and enjoy our in-depth talk with one of the most unique and elite hip-hop artists in the game.
