    It's the depth of lyricism that continues to impress, months after release.

    The nearly 45-minute album might just be too smart for a mainstream audience, who seemingly prefer hollow, bubblegum rap to intelligently constructed social commentary. Yet, this musically diverse Hip Hop package will provide a suitable soundtrack for those who still prefer their rap iced-out with depth.

    The Iceberg ultimately delivers a rich yet digestible musical main course worth more than one helping. If you've been sleeping on Odd, it's time to wake up.

    Oddisee's all-round strengths as producer, mixer, and lyricist make for a more cohesive record, allowing for his personality and message to shine that much brighter.

    A focused beam of hip-hop soul that rattles loudly in our present political moment.

    Oddisee delivers again, even if his project feels samey in relation to his past albums and safe from a conscious rap standpoint. What isOddisee delivers again, even if his project feels samey in relation to his past albums and safe from a conscious rap standpoint.

The expressed opinions may seem to be mainly from an Oddisee platform and not firstly a humankind platform.… Expand
