2023 reissue on "Butterfly Splatter" vinyl - It's been almost a year since we heard a solo effort from DC rapper/producer Oddisee; in 2016 he dropped his Alwasta EP, then followed it up in the summer with The Odd Tape, an instrumental album. His latest, The Iceberg, slides in almost under the radar amidst a slew of other flashy commercial releases over the last 30 days. True to his brand, though, it's more refreshing than coconut water in a drought.
Over 12 self-produced tracks, Oddisee comments on everything from race relations and social injustice to gender inequality. One of his ultimate strengths is his unique ability to make topics that aren't wholly original become something unique and distinctively his own.
