Oddisee Drops New Album 'To What End'

Oddisee Drops New Album 'To What End'

Published Fri, January 20, 2023 at 3:58 PM EST

The D.C.-born, Brooklyn-based MC and producer Oddisee has released his latest full-length project To What End on his Outer Note Label. The 16-song project features Phonte, Freeway, Oliver St Louis, Bilal, Toine Jameson, Noochie, Haile Supreme, Saint Ezekiel, Kay Young and BeMyFiasco.

The album follows the laid-back jazzy tone of three previously released singles "Ghetto To Meadow," "Hard To Tell," and "Try Again." The album's intro "The Start of Something" is a piano-only track for the first three minutes with Oddisee spitting his spoken word-like flow setting the album off perfectly. "Bartenders" featuring Toine Jameson is a bare bones track with an opening that pays homage to Common with the lines "Envisioning the hereafter listening to Van Hunt/on a pursuit for truth like its a manhunt." "Work To Do" featuring Bilal is a stand-out track with offbeat and live instrumentation showcasing the versatility that is Oddisee.

"I want to send a big thank you to everybody who contributed to the making of this album," he said in an IG video. "If I tried to name everybody I'd forget somebody, but you know who you are."

Oddisee also announced that a European tour is coming in April or May as well as vinyl and cd of the project. "It really feels good to be releasing music after so long," the Rock Creek Park MC said. Check To What End on all streaming platforms.
