Last week you heard Has-Lo & Apollo Brown join forces on Heirlooms, but this week it’s Oddisee & Apollo Brown on The Times. Oddisee, who is half Sudanese, doesn’t normally bring his politics to the table, but in this rare moment Oddisee offers an entire song devoted to the turbulent changes occurring in Northern Africa, in particular the historic vote that split his home country of Sudan into two separate nations. The Republic of Southern Sudan is now the newest African nation: listen to Oddisee break his thoughts down over the Apollo Brown beat.
conscious rap… but I don’t like being preached to by cats less educated than myself
Nice track indeed, dope wordplay and really nice beat. Nice to hear someone drop some knowledge. Dope
Tom, I doubt Oddisee is less educated than you on Sudan, he’s from there. His family lives there.
