Stanley Odd – Bill Oddy
Release Date: 11th December 2020
Scottish hip-hop collective, eh?
I’m interested. Stanley Odd revel in not being the traditional stereotype of
what it is to be cool as they let new single ‘Bill Oddy’ unfurl before us. Some
spoken word samples and great rhymes (“what you call underground we call
mainstream, what you call vandalism we call painting”) roll out atop a funky
bass line and old school beat augmented by some sinister chords and the occasional
moment of undeniable Scottishness (“wrap that pish tha noo….”). All of this
delivered in an honest and unstylised Scottish accent because, after all, didn’t
all those American TV shows teach us that being yourself is the coolest thing
of all?
