The Iceberg

The prolific MC, producer and musician Oddisee’s new album The Iceberg is a plea for humanity to dig deeper in search of understanding and common ground. His third release in just 12 months, The Iceberg is a distillation of stereotypical tropes in hip-hop and beyond, 12 tracks about money, sex, politics, race and religion that appear superficial until his multi-dimensional lyrics unfurl to expose the complexities of individuality and identity: how we see ourselves and how others see us. Deeply soulful, and shot through with jazz, Go-go, gospel, thick r&b and hard beats, the album is a timely, poetic statement.
