Oddisee's breakthrough album: Imbued with love, honesty, and selflessness, The Good Fight is virtuosic in its musicality, direct in its language, and infinitely relatable. In a landscape overrun with abstract indulgence and shallow trend-chasers, the Prince Georges County, Maryland artist has created a record that reminds you that its music before its hip-hop. For Oddisee, "The Good Fight" is about living fully as a musician without succumbing to the traps of hedonism, avarice, and materialism. Its music that yields an intangible feeling: the sacral sound of an organ whine, brass horns, or a cymbal crash. Its a meditation on our capacity to love and the bonds binding us together. Its our ambition and greed warring with our sense of propriety - a list of paradoxes we all face when living and striving. Oddisees production simmers in its own orchestral gumbo. You sense hes really a jazzman in different form, inhabiting the spirit of Roy Ayers and other past greats. The Faders compared him to a musical MC Escher, calling hailing his "grandiose and symphonic sound" and "relevant relatable messages." Pitchfork praised his "eclectic soulful boom-bap."
