Who is Rosenberg’s Man, Oddisee? Pause

Shout out to Eskay from Nah Right–here’s what he had to say…

“So last night I swung by SMT Studios in Chelsea at the invitation of Peter Rosenberg to sit in on a marathon studio session helmed by D.C. based producer and MC Oddisee. You may remember dude’s name from that Saigon and Lil Fame joint I posted the other day, or you may have heard of him elsewhere. I’ll admit that I wasn’t too familiar with his work until a couple of weeks ago, but after doing some research and hearing some of the beats he played last night, I’m a believer. Not to mention that dude is easily one of the most genuine dudes I’ve met so far in an industry wallowing in its own bullshit.

As I mentioned before, him and Peter are preparing to drop The Rosenberg Oddisee, a special EP recorded over the course of one day, any second now. I don’t know if I’m allowed to speak on what I witnessed last night, but basically it was the session for the follow up to that first volume. Trust me when I say that Rosenberg is going to be bringing some heat to the industry in the next few weeks/months.

Which brings us to the above video. I’ve posted plenty of VIMBY’s here so you should all know the deal. In this episode, Oddisee takes us for a walk through his hometown of D.C. and deftly explains the impact gentrification has had and continues to have on Avenue Q and the surrounding areas. Even if you’re not familiar with homey, it’s well worth watching for the history lesson alone. “
