NPR: “Tiny Desk Concerts†Series Welcomes “The Internet” (Video)
September 30, 2015
Straight outta Los Angeles, and Odd Future, The Internet – featuring founding members Syd The Kid (vocals/production) and Matt Martians (keys/ production), as well as Pat Paige (bass), Jameel Bruner (keys) and Chris Smith (drums) – falls through NPR to do a “Tiny Desk Concert.†The kind of Alternative that The Internet brings to your ears… well… it’s hard to describe. Good thing you have the above video to watch (and the “Ego Death” album link, via earlier post on here, to listen to).
Here’s an attempt at description: Think R&B’d out Hip-Hop swagger meeting homegrown Neo-Soul with a 21st century twist.
Yep. That’s the best description for it. And nope, that doesn’t quite cover it. But yep, you will enjoy it… perhaps enough to cop the album here.

NPR: “Tiny Desk Concerts” Series Welcomes Oddisee (Video)
June 29, 2015
One of my favorite albums of 2015 so far is The Good Fight by Oddisee. Â So when NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series invited the DC emcee to come perform some tracks off his new album I was excited. Â Oddisee does not disappoint with his performance backed by a live two piece band he rocks the NPR offices. Â Performing the tracks That’s Love, Contradiction’s Maze, and Belong to the World he got the crowd involved and sounded as clear as he does on the album. Â It’s refreshing to see a Hip Hop artist rock a show no frills no loud screaming and 20 people on stage and still have the crowd enthralled by the performance. Â Good job fighting the Good Fight Oddisee!
