Oddisee Interviews w/ The Stand (Video).
Mar 7th
Oddisee, of the celebrated group Diamond District, gives The Stand insight into the many facets of his life in interview. As an integral part of Oddisee’s life, the rapper talks about the double meaning of his name setting the stage for his rhyming career from a young age and how his hometown of D.C. has shaped his music – hardcore hip-hop without the violence. However, this is one artist not to be restricted to a single genre. His love and passion for music keep tracks fresh as Oddisee prides himself on taking bits and pieces of many genres and incorporating them into his music. His motto, “Keep it fresh, keep it alive, and keep it relevant,” has kept the emcee on the cutting edge of music without forgetting his hip-hop roots.
This guy is one of the brightest stars on the DC Hip Hop scene right now and his music is really starting to go global, so it’s dope to see documentaries like this..

Real talk from the man over at Ill Doctrine. People need to wake up and do their own research on these things before making comments.

Tonight on Funkadelic Freestyles..
Mar 2nd
Tonight on Funkadelic Freestyles we revive our short-lived (Fall 09) “Introducing…” series with a relatively-new hip-hop artist out of Baltimore, MD. The Black Sunn is a 20 year old emcee from East Baltimore “with an uncanny capability of illustrating colorful storylines coalesced with a vivid golden sound.” If it hadn’t been for the insistent (no, NOT annoying) emails from his manager, Jon Feldman, I’d have let another promising young artist fly under my radar.
Luckily, I ran into Jon a few weeks ago at the Stussy DC Dilla Day event and promised him we’d bring The Black Sunn in-studio the first Tuesday in March, and now – here we are. Tune in tonight for “Introducing… The Black Sunn” along with insightful discussion from Jay Promo, Unkle Scooty, King Carter, and myself on Guru, Lil Wayne, and the Oscars. Plus new music in the mix with DJ Jerome Baker III from J. Ferb, Donwill of Tanya Morgan, Danny Brown, Freeway, and many more. Plus a EXCLUSIVE sneak preview of the upcoming Mochilla DVD/CD release, Timeless: Suite For Ma Dukes!

Feb 18th
To set the tone for The Black Sunn’s next project Sol Parables EP, here is the first leak provided via DJBooth.net called “Black Serenade ft. 810.” It is over a heavy percussive Damu the Fudgemunk instrumental which he brings fellow Baltimore emcee 810 along for. This project will be hosted by DJBooth.net for release next Thursday 2.25.10. Also, if you are in the DC metro area come out and see him perform at University of Maryland on the same day of the release. Click here for details.
