ODDISEE & GOOD COMPNY (USA)

Amir Mohamed el Khalifa aka Oddisee is an American rapper and producer whose intelligent and deep approach to hip-hop has lifted him among the top artists of the genre who has worked with stars like Kendrick Lamar, Will.i.am, Herbie Hanckock and others. The Washington-based artist has been active for a dozen years that include studio and mixtape albums, broad range of collaborations with the big names in hip-hop and the role of a producer in some of the most important albums in that genre.
