Hip Hop Trio Priest Da Nomad, Oddisee & Substantial Represent Black Excellence On "Proud"


Led by a thumping instrumental which channels the Soul of the late great James Brown, Priest Da Nomad, Oddisee and Substantial get to the depths of their melanin on "Proud". This meeting of great minds in rhyme proudly portray the black experience with a show-stopping display of lyricism and African American history.

Below, Oddisee and Olivier St. Louis blast off with a fusion of Hip Hop/Soul as they journey through space and time on the groovy"Go To Mars". From Oddisee's summer 2020 album "Odd Cure".

"Baltimore emcee Substantial released his Oddisee executive produced album "Home Is Where The Art Is" late last year and quickly garnered acccolades from his strong worldwide fan base. Since then, Substantial has toured with yU (of Diamond District), seen the vinyl release of his record, performed at the Smithsonian in DC, and released a wildly successful tribute album to Jill Scott titled "Jackin' Jill".

Substantial - "Movin Alright" feat. yU (prod. Oddisee)

For the movers and shakers who remain on their grind daily, here's some soundtrack music for your life. Substantial and Oddisee keep it bouncin' on this bonus track from "Home Is Where The Art Is", released September of 2012 on Mello Music Group. This track kinda reminds me of some early 90's Tribe or L.O.N.S. from the creative reality-based lyrics and drum heavy approach.
