If there is one slept on artist from DC its rapper/producer Oddisee.  Dude is definitely your favorite rapper you haven’t heard of yet.  Whether producing for the likes of Little Brother, Talib, and Freeway, rapping solo on projects like “Mental Liberation” or linking up the YU and XO to form Diamond District, (which is definitely our favorite rap trio since De La) Oddisee makes moves!  For the next two months, Oddisee is going to be posting on the DURKL blog, as he travels and tours through Europe.  Jump over there this weekend and check him out in London!

Check Diamond District performing “I Mean Business” at CMJ last month.
