Oddisee returns from a pause with a new album

The World

“Movement” host Meklit Hadero speaks with Sudanese American MC Oddisee about his new album, “To What End,” which grew out of a period of intense self-doubt. In their conversation, Oddisee describes overcoming cultural taboos around mental healthcare and drawing on his own complex family to become a more empathetic listener. This is the latest from our collaboration with the podcast, “Movement,” stories at the intersection of music and migration.
