DAMN has much higher highs? Nah, not at all. The production on The Iceberg is just simply better and the songs are written better. People are really under estimating how dope Oddisee is on the mic. He is a GREAT songwriter and his delivery are in the pocket on his beats perfectly.

What are these high highs on DAMN? It honestly feels like people *want* there to be high highs because we feel there should be. I get it...he's the new cat to love and he's got mainstream success so it makes it easy to ride for him because he is a very good artist among the rest of the bullshit. But I'm just not on that wavelength. There is absolutely nothing outstanding at DAMN at all. And y'all got me shitting on it when I actually like about half of it. But the highs are not there. The hype is really pushing this shit to a level it's not.

I've only seen the live clips of Oddisee on YouTube but he looks dope live so I hope you enjoy!

Who knows...maybe when you see him live you will be even more of a fan.
