About the album
open.spotify.com/album/2dEkji...
The prolific MC, producer and musician Oddisee’s new album ‘The Iceberg’ is a plea for humanity to dig deeper in search of understanding and common ground. His third release in just 12 months, ‘The Iceberg’ is a distillation of stereotypical tropes in hip-hop and beyond, 12 tracks about money, sex, politics, race and religion that appear superficial until his multi-dimensional lyrics unfurl to expose the complexities of individuality and identity: how we see ourselves and how others see us. Deeply soulful, and shot through with jazz, Go-go, gospel, thick r&b and hard beats, the album is a timely, poetic statement. ‘The Iceberg’ is out now on Mello Music Group.
Lead single “Things” acts as a mission statement for the album, a deep dance groove with lightning-quick lyrics about “things” he’s going through. Says Oddisee, “"We all go through the trials & tribulations of life. Why is it we feel the need to individualize our shared experiences? If only we could see our concerns as others do, maybe they wouldn't be so serious."

Oddisee says, "I've always attempted to see polarizing issues from both sides. Being angry at the end result of a problem is the easiest thing to do. Having an understanding for why things are they way they are requires a level of sympathy I wish society possessed. If we tackle issues from the root, perhaps we as a people can be more effective in solving them. Giving context to how an officer would shoot an innocent person and showing how we're indoctrinated into our beliefs and biases could possibly inspire new methods to deal with them."
dialectics maaaang
Mello Music Group give plasmuh laharer or Luc' a beat! Flames all over.
Thanks for the words and this beautiful track! peace
Peavine Projects ... I dont think its cool to piggie back on Greatness in order to propagate your agendas... That said, your link shows reasoning to follow the awesomeness I spent liking and replaying to capture all meanings blaring through my phones.... Im just saying though, Have more Respect for Greatness B4 you... Also, have the Confidence in Yourself, to GRIND, as MANY did B4 you, instead of using Their glory to advertise yours....
Genius
"You can raise a child in house full of love , can't keep them safe in the world full of hate"
Yep I love this one the most
Dekari Mckinzy probably the best line on the song
edgy
That's why the internet, or school, exists, to get you and your kids ready for the real world early on, by getting bullied, never having friends, and finally life goes well at 12 or older! _hiding the pain by laughing_
st1cks PS how is that even edgy?
I really hate how real this is right now.
yes got back from the news...
Yeah, all the crazy stuff going on in the world right now made me come back to this.
Well looks like I was t the only one wondering... hope you’re all safe.
*sigh* Yeah... Y'know, normally people hope the music they love stays relevant, but I really wish this song didn't.
Eugene Kinsella yeah... stay safe all you guys
I remember listening to this when I was in my first year of college. It actually opened my eyes to the fact that we need to be more open and give people the benefit of the doubt, even if they attack you directly. It's easy to blame someone for their actions, yet almost no one sits down and tries to figure out why someone might act like that. No one is born evil.
A person is neither good or bad by nature, he/she simply is, and if he/she wishes to continue being, may at times, fall back on more primal compulsions to do so. It's entire subjective. The world could do without such childish concepts as good/evil. The only fact in life is that there are no facts.
mad smooth
i love your channel
You comment on every good track I have listened to.
wus poppin jimbo
YES! HE LIKES IT.
🔥
We as hip hop lovers need to do our part and ensure that this type of hip hop is shared amongst our peers and social circle. Dope song, incredible album
Yo, if that's how you feel you should peep a track I just made. It's speaks about similar subject matter and would mean alot if you'd check it out and continue spreading that realness!

+Peavine Projects I'm usually not big on people advertising in comments, but along the same vain of the original comment, we gotta support the smaller artists like you and me, so I'll give you a listen
@adrian hazzard facts bro facts
Terrible idea, am mocked for my music tease.
wanted to like your comment but nah im leaving it at 666 DIABLO
This might be the most important piece of art/music all year. It doesn't paint a picture of right, wrong, or indifference. There's no rally cry. To me, it says to introspect. To view the world outside of your experience.
Bro. Tolliver agree
Can we just talk about how the Muslim man wore glasses to show how he valued his academics and then when he was getting angrier they are shown to crack and break off. Brilliant video.
I think it might also be a metaphor for him being "blinded" in the indoctrination of extremism.
Hayden Rose yeah, yours made more sense
@@howlsaur yeah, and Odd is wearing a pair as he grows up, and after Odd's friend gets (presumably) beat by his alcoholic father, his view of the world is damaged, and when he wears his shades, they block out all the "light" that he can see a person, and leading him to see only the dark. Thank you for making it click.
Fyi not all muslims are the same
@@yourstruly1357 Obviously
*Damn! That was good* I've never heard anything from the artist so I didn't expect such a deep/rich song
Me neither
same!
My suggestion is Joyner lucas, im sorry
Henrique The Arab what
no. better suggestion is more Oddisee
I was typing an essay at 5:12 A.M. for a class at 8:00 A.M. and when this came onto autoplay, I thought nothing of it. But then I started to listen to they lyrics. When I heard this song, I stopped typing, went onto RUclips, and watched the video from start to finish. This is my first time hearing anything from you and honestly, I love this. Keep the fresh vibes, real message, and truthful lyrics my guy. Now I gotta finish this stupid essay ASAP so I can watch more of your content
Blatant lies, everyone knows a student doing an essay at 5:12 would never stop typing, especially not for a song
@@loganparenteau-sugden7592 Depends. If it was a 10pg essay then yea, but english 1 is mad ez
so how did you do?
This is freakishly similar to how I found this song
its scary how similar that is to me. i was writing at 4:40, and the same thing happend
Oddisee with his amazing storytelling abilities mixed with awesome animation!
I didn’t understand what this song truly meant back then, but looking back at it now, after everything that’s happened, it reflects so much in so little time. Truly a masterpiece.
Damn. Perfect visuals for a thought-provoking track!
well odd he see :)
Dude, as far as modern hiphop goes, oddisee is one of the most eye opening artist i've ever heard. and insights into his process of thinking are the greatest nuggets of gold I've ever laid eyes upon. I just wish i would weigh them with proper scales.
Dustin Shaw And all the seeds his soundwaves scattered grew the same way you are feeling in the mind of most of his listeners
Agreed
thought provoking...? he's literally just acting like a bunch of negative sterotypes are true.
it's fun to look back on our life. so many phases, friends and memories that have passed. it gets harder the older you get but keep your head up.
This is a hell of a song. More people need to see this nowadays
Back here after 4 years, this deserved so much more attention.
Oddisee is one of the most refreshing artists ive discovered last years and was fortunate to see him live this year. To bad he didnt showed up after the show for a picture. But i enjoy every album and every song he makes. This is one of my fav of The Iceberg. Cant wait for the next project.
You are lucky man! I live in Russia and work for 300$ a month and I don't know when I get to see some awesome artist live :(
Aw too bad, I fortunatly had the chance to talk wth him after his show, he very is close to his public
themo881
Im jelous! I emailed him before the show if there was chance for a picture he said he would be there after the show but to bad maybe something important came up idk. His band was there though took a photo with the swag guy. Ah well better luck next time. Cant wait to see him again.
Saw him at such a small show it blew my mind, no one even was trying to be up front you could just walk up there. I definitely got a pic with him
There's a lot of pretty smart stuff going on here. From the parallel between crystals and human development portrayed by the visuals, to the the stories of how different people started from a similar place and grew up to become vastly different portrayed in the lyrics, to the sonic development that the song undergoes. The song opens with synth chords and closes with a complex bass line which shows growth over time. I really like the message of this song. It reminds us that although we are shaped by our experiences and grow to become different people, we are all human.
Elijah Buscho very sharp, you are
That third verse ties it all back together ...
I'm pretty sure the last verse is him having high ambitions, only for his life later down the line to stamp those out and make him think, "Oh, I can't change the world, I'm just an average guy, in an average town, with an average job, and an average life." It's the same sort of thinking that's caused the lack of change and innovation that the world needs.
Oh man.... fuck...You made a lot clearer for me that last verse. I feel like crying.I don't wan't that mindset :(
The part of this video that resonates the most with me is that last verse and the accompanying visuals. Seeing Odd as a young man with wide-eyes full of love that gradually start to fade from the stresses of life is too real. I feel like I went through the same shit because I now have those same eyes.
He's so underrated, shame
Biggie I wouldnt say Underrated. i would say under-known. I can only imagine most people whove listened to him rate him highly if u see what i mean.
All Kinds yh man ure right
Biggie that’s ok tho, that means only the realest will ever know who he is and that’s all that matters
indeed
For sure
Damn this hits hard. He even talks about social differences. "While I was tryna' keep my Nikes clean, he was tryna' scuff his chucks up. He was grunge, I was fresh, we were young and we'd cuss along to rap and try to sneak up into punk clubs." Where he was praised for the cleanness of his Nikes, his friend was praised for the raggedness of his Convers. Where he liked Rap, his friend liked Punk.
Oddisee really has a grasp on Knowledge and dialectic social issues. His eb and flow is articulated to such a high degree. So jazzed that I discoverd this jewel in the crown of Hip-Hop
You can raise a child in a house full of love, can't keep him safe in a world full of hate.... That hits hard. This is hot as hell. Mad respect to the artist.
This video is incredible. The song is one of most power tunes I've heard this year. The visuals complement the lyrics perfectly. This was a great hip-hop record and a wonderful utilization of the animation medium.
It's goddamn spectacular and deserves more recognition than it's been given.
Sick track with great flow that delivers a message everyone needs to here.
This is what music and poetry are for.
To make your mind think, your heart pump, and your soul sing.
Hate has no room when it comes to music.
I don;t have the same perspective of this man... but i've seen so many of my friends grow up in scarily similar ways... It hurts my heart.. I cant believe there's a song for this....
The "Iceberg" album is a masterful piece of great art. Every joint is poignant, thought-provoking, dope, relevant, etc...I cannot stop listening to this album. Thank you, Oddisee, for sharing this with the world.
Found this in my recommended and I couldn't be any more grateful. RUclips got it right again. I can so relate to this song. When I was younger, I had such a more open mind and the painful part is I remember how it felt to actually doubt peoples wrong intentions or mistakes because you looked with an open heart and positive mind but, as you got older, your friends that you were tight with did a 180 on you or 360 before you did and you didn't understand why. Resolutions came simple to you but as time passed you started to understand as well and realize with life it changes you and tests your beliefs, morals, and views. By this time your either depressed looking back on those blissful child hood memories you should've cherished more or strict/mean with your attitude if people don't come at you "right". Its sad really. I think true experience comes when all the hate after the love is gone and you find balance btw life and people. idk I'm still learning and I'm still young so I just hope every experience that comes to me I can learn/take in a positive way and do a 180 on it and make a change for the better. Life is too short to be bitter, angry, racist, depressed, stubborn, you have too much in your life too accomplish before you let that hold you back. Were so much greater than we think we are because life constantly tells us were not.
You nailed it on the head!
This is one of the best songs I've heard in a while. The message, the rhythm, the instrumentals were amazing. The animation was perfect for the video. It made it flow so well and I loved the symbolism of a crystal. This song was easy to understand, yet still had symbolism and so many meaningful quotes. We need more meaningful songs like these.
So poignant right now, just listening to this sobbing to be honest. I love this song so much and I have for a long time but it's hitting hard today.
After a few years this song still slaps.
And I'm feeling it, I'm growing up.
wow. i like this. I watched kids I grew up with in high school totally change on me over politics. The news will make people you know that you now feel like random strangers.
Finally had the chance to see Oddisee in DC at the 9:30 after years of missing my chances. The man has talent beyond the measure of so many other "artists" that get mainstream play.
jrworthy42 sometimes the greatest treasures are best kept out of the public eye
This song hurts so much and yet is so good.
I loved this song when it came out. Coming back to it, that last verse smacked me in the face.
It's kind of scary, the last guy reminds me of a classmate I had in primary school. He used to get picked on a lot and at first I didn't do anything, but then eve I became mean to him too later. Lucky my best friend at the time was so much nicer than I was and got me to treat him better. I hope he's okay now, he used to be really quiet and always sat on his own, never talking to anyone and always avoiding our classmates, he probably hated us so much.
It's not often I enjoy songs with social commentary. However, this song is special. It doesn't point fingers at people and blame them for their troubles, it tells the story of some situations that have caused hate. This artist has done extraordinary work and I look forward to seeing more.
Agree 100%. It gets kind of annoying when singers try to shove their political opinions down your throat.
STILL.. quite possibly the most underrated HipHop artist in the game. Not that he wants any of that big fame bullshit, but should be getting so many more flowers, now & forever. 💐🙏🏼
Glad he shows all sides regardless of how shitty both sides are most people are so quick to blame one side rather then realize we all need to unite regardless we all have struggles
Ur telling me this guy is still this underrated 😵
Good to see hip hop can still be artistic and thought provoking. This album is gonna be deep.
one of those songs you don't want to end
Can’t stop listening to this song a year later
:-: The perfect song for Cause and Effect.. Powerful track here..
U are never born angry at someone or something you are taught hate and violence
The views of the artist are profound in that they speak a truth older than time. Wisdom through understanding, or even through possessing the ability to show sympathy to those who cause suffering is a level of compassion that I believe our society lacks. Suffering begets suffering, and for someone as influential as Oddisee to possess and share this wisdom through such a medium is thought invoking. Props for giving him a space to express his message, props to him for using his abilities to help rather than hurt.
Beautiful.
I keep coming back to this and showing it off to people. Songs like these remind me that rap can be the most powerful genre of music to convey a meaningful message.
This artwork is absolutely stunning
Oddisee is the best thing to happen to hip hop in the last twenty years, hands down.
Justin Porter how much oddisee have you heard bro? Every single album, classic joints front to back. Classy, intellectual non-stop real music. I stand by my comment.
Justin Porter and he's self-produced, which you cant say about kendrick, and he's never used a ghost writer, which you can't say about kanye.
nah King Kunta is the best thing to happen to hip hop in the last decade. Last TWO decades you're missin some hip hop legends
What about Ab-Soul, J. Cole, Lupe Fiasco, J.I.D?
hes one of...
Ooh shit this is so damn good 👌👌 Oddisee speaks truth, don't go sleeping on him 😭
easily one of my favorite songs of all time
I really feel everyone on this earth just needs to see this. Even if it doesn’t change them. I don’t even know why. I just feel as though everyone should see this
Dear Oddissee, your music is so inspiring with uplifting and powerful stories. Please keep on producing good quality songs.
From a Senegalese guy following you from the beginning 'til infinity !
Ive never had a song hit me this hard. The colours, the shapes, the designs, the beat and those lyrics. All i can say is that this is the most thought provoking song, along with all the imagry. It's amazing
Ah...... THX Oddisee...... Best concert in my life....... Yesterday in Prague............. absolutely amazing......
The song and video both are just amazing!! Favorite artist still for me is oddisee.

Been here since "Different Now" and my favorite song of yours is "Own Appeal." You are the man, bro. Glad to see people vibing with you and your messages and delivery are alwahs on point.
First story hits true to the heart and the time we in
I'm both of these guys
-Logic listening to the 1st verse
I'm dying at this comment
you can raise a child in a house full of love
cant protect him from a world full of hate
damn.
I have just watched this three times. This is how I feel inside. I wish other people around me would look into themselves too. Idk if I'm sad or resigned or.. I'm not sure.
This was amazing. Thank you.
Odisee i been here listening since the day The beauty in all was released. I'm thankful to have had your tunes in my head for this long while.
This artist is gold wow .. goosebumps
This song is much more legendary than ppl realize!
Oddisee is pure artistry at its best in an industry that has lost its identity....We proud of what you doing bro....Keep on Keepin on......Pure Fire
Watched this clip on CNN Indonesia this morning. Loving it from the 1st time. Although here praying 5 times facing west. I think because we’re laid out in different side of the worlds.
Damn, love the visuals
Ignorance leads to fear
Fear leads to anger
Anger leads to hate
Educate your children properly
The whole album is amazing and seeing the views that Oddisee took and applied to life and broke it down speaks volumes. The video just puts a stamp on the inner workings of a man that thinks before he speaks. Salute to Eugene & Louise also.
I love this guy, he’s so under appreciated. Truly a blessing.
More people need to hear this 🔥
Breh I wasn't aware that my Oddisee is spitting like this now.... Damn!
Oddisee, dude, your songs are... Just amazing, keep writing songs, you're gonna reach high. Lyrics make a lot of sence, they rhime, the beat is nice. I can't tell you how much you make me feel like I am worth more than I think that I truly am. Thanks, keep up the work c :
love the music. thank you so so much. huge fan.
The visuals match the song perfectly.
Oddisee best artist right now. Incredible storytelling as usual.
I heard this in my 7th grade class! my science teacher mr.west played this one day and I’ve been falling in love with odissee ever since. now im in the 9th entering 10th!!
This song made me cry,it gives me chills everytime i listen to it. I love it,the video is on point
Dope story telling
This Hook is so good!
I watched this video when it first came out and I downloaded it on my then tablet. The device was lost under several things for years and today I fished it out. I watched it again and I don't know, I broke down in tears.
2021, still gives me goose bumps and a heartache on how true this is.
Dope track n visuals!
Masterpiece.
Saw this a few months after this came out. Now its about 2 years later and it has a better impact.
I listen to this everyday and its so thought provoking in my mind its unreal
He's such an amazing and underrated artist
2020 STILL FIRE!!
The visuals just add another layer to the story. It just makes this track all the more important, especially in this day and age.
Amazing production and phenomenal lyrics. I was blown away by this song! Definitely gonna check out this album
Waiting for this to blow up 🙇🏻♂️
i got the notification for this as was listening to danny brown's "grown up"
Oddisee becomes my favorite artist next to Blu. "You Grew Up" and the whole album is just another reason to follow this man and his musical way .. very dope song and video! Added it to our latest #Videoplaylist.
Striking since the first line and the good stuff keeps going. There are several cool rap songs in 2017 but I can say that You grew up is way different and worthwhile.
We really need this message in 2020 more than ever.
Love this!!!!!
YOOOOOO this song is hella deep! at first i had my doubts till i heard dem bars and meanings
bro this shit is still happening to to this day
respect for the rapper
storytelling is pure genious - perfectly fitting the aesthetic animation - beat is fire and i like how he changes up the kicks and his flow a lot. A true lyricist.You can tell he wants to help the world heal by understanding the circumstances that shape and corrupt who we become. only commenting to get this video more views. never stop creating bro!
