Oddisee Interview w/ Dubspot [Video]

Oddisee (born Amir Mohamed el Khalifa) is a hip hop producer and MC who has forged a unique sound; his observational slice-of-life lyrics and soulful beats have graced the mixtapes and tracks he has been producing since 2005. Mohamed grew up in Prince George’s County, Maryland (near Washington D.C.), and many of his pieces reflect cultural influences from this area. Recently the producer has been working in Brooklyn and London, which have both provided new inspiration and depth for his music. While in NYC, Dubspot caught up with Oddisee to talk about his early work with Ensoniq’s ASR-X sampler, his daily production workflow and work ethic, and what it took to become satisfied with his own music.
