Oddisee at Music Hall of Williamsburg
Dec. 15. 8PM. $35.09

The rapper Oddisee – born Amir Elkhalifa – has been making socially conscious hip hop since 2008, and in live performance he’s known for playing not with a DJ or recorded samples but with a live band, called Good Company. Oddisee is currently preparing to release his first full length album in five years. It’s called To What End, and it features songs about race and inequality, but also about overcoming obstacles. This song, called “Ghetto to Meadow,” shows Oddisee’s lyrical side, and also features the Philadelphia rapper Freeway. Oddisee plays Thursday, Dec. 15 at Music Hall of Williamsburg.
