While Prince George's County might be home to some of the wealthiest African-Americans in the country, it's also a place where 92 people were murdered last year. It straddles the border of some of the roughest parts of Washington, D.C.
"When you grow up with opportunity, yet poverty [is so close in proximity]," Oddisee says, "it directly affects the type of music you listen to and the type of music you make."

WOW!!! It's been a long time since I've listened to an album and enjoyed EVERY SONG on it from START TO FINISH!!!! I chose PROVE ME WRONG as my favorite track but 6 other songs like THE FORMULA and People's Champ could have also been chosen as my favorite. I am going to buy two CD copies as a way to make sure I always have it in my collection. GRAND SALUTE to OC with the SUPERDOPE LYRICISM and APOLLO BROWN with the SUPERDOPE PRODUCTION. Michael Holt
Big but tight energy from this album that perfectly fit the closed-up vibe of the pandemic and reminded you to call your loved ones. It feels like these important folks in Amir's life each get a bit of their vibe wrapped into the song following. Sable Knight
