New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Time Magazine has premiered the video for Oddisee's "NNGE" today, an ode to
Black American resilience. The video finds the prolific MC and producer going back to his roots, to film the video where he grew up outside of Washington, D.C. Taken from his just-released full length 'The Iceberg,' the song is about facing adversity and perseverance in the current political climate as a Muslim, as a Sudanese American, as a hip hop artist, all set to a deeply soulful go-go beat.
