It's rare that I will binge an entire podcast series, but I couldn't stop listening to ODB: a Son Unique. The podcast covers the career of Ol Dirty Bastard of the Wu Tang Clan.
one of the most colourful characters in the history of Hip Hop. He captivated fans with his unique style, his chaotic persona and unforgettably wild antics... But now, nearly two decades since ODB’s passing, filmmaker and photographer Khalik Allah is on a mission to find the real ODB.
I was vaguely aware of the Wu Tang Clan in the late '90s but I there was no way to avoid ODB after his collaboration with Mariah Carey on the Fantasy remix in the mid-90s. It was a few years later when the band became a little more prominent here in the UK after they performed with Texas at the 1998 Brit Awards. Even that was a year or two before I really discovered hip-hop.
If you are a hip-hop fan, this podcast is worth a listen to hear about the rise and fall of such an interesting artist, the world around him and the legacy he's left.
I know have a playlist full of music videos to go watch and to catch up on.
