Rapper and producer Oddisee has released his latest studio album The Iceberg. Oddisee, who was born Amir Mohamed el Khalifa in Washington D.C., dropped the project towards the end of last month. The album is political, as much of Oddisee’s previous work has been, touching on economic inequality, consumerism, race, xenophobia, and sexism. Much of Iceberg feels like an outstretched a hand, one offering understanding, a call for reflection and critical thinking. But as the performance date neared, Oddisee was informed that he was being pulled from the bill for his controversial music.
