Oddisee - Once Again

Born in Washington, D.C., to a Sudanese father and an African-American mother, Amir Mohamed grew up in Maryland, influenced by soul and rap as well as the myriad of musicians on both sides of his family. He was all set to attend the Art Institute of Philadelphia, however, to pursue visual art when a friend of his introduced him to hip-hop producing. He was so enamored by it that he changed his plans and concentrated on making beats, ending up with the track "Musik Lounge" on DJ Jazzy Jeff's 2002 record, Magnificent. Part of the Low Budget crew, which included fellow D.C. area MC and producers Kenn Starr, Cy Young, and Kev Brown, Oddisee released his solo debut, Foot in the Door, mixed by Jazzy Jeff, on Halftooth in 2006.

Foot In The Door, which is mixed by the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff, is a remarkable display of Oddisee's outstanding skills both behind the boards and on the mic, with an emphasis on his brilliance as an emcee. Foot In The Door features guest appearances from Freddie Foxxx, J-Live, Supastition, Asheru, Darien Brockington, Kenn Starr, Kev Brown & more, as well as production from Oddisee & Kev Brown, among others. Foot In The Door clearly establishes Oddisee as a genuine double-threat producer/emcee extraordinaire with a fresh, innovative style and a universal appeal. His brilliant flow, clever word-play, vast intellect and intriguing charisma on the mic, together with his expertise behind the boards, will undoubtedly solidify Oddisee's reputation as one of the few gifted producer/emcees who can shine equally in both forms and as one of the most talented, original and well-rounded artists of our time.
