Oddisee will play The Kennedy Center on Thursday, December 13, 2018 along with his group Oddisee & Good Compny, one of the best MC’s in hip hop Phonte, and D.C. native Olivier St. Louis. This performance is a part of The Kennedy Center’s Bridge Concert Series which was designed to showcase musical innovators in the hip hop culture — past, present and future.
Tickets for the event range from $49.00-$59.00 and are on sale now.
A respected underground MC, both locally and abroad, Oddisee has become a mainstay for his thought-provoking and socially conscious lyrics. Whether reflecting on his Muslim, Sudanese American background, racial injustice and economic disparities through vivid imagery and powerful lyricism, or paying homage to his hometown through go-go soundscapes, Oddisee demonstrates why he’s D.C.’s native son and an artist for the ages. A Little Brother and Foreign Exchange alum, Phonte celebrates the release of his stunning sophomore solo album No News is Good News—a mature and emotionally wide-ranging meditation on the modern man’s hustle encompassing lineage, legacy, mortality, and marriage. Washington-born and Berlin-based singer/songwriter Olivier St. Louis opens up the evening with his distinctive brand of Rock n Soul. -The Kennedy Center
