OBD

OBD (Outnumbered But Deadly) is an introspectively indomitable force testing the mettle of hip-hop’s foundations. The Rotterdam-based duo, consisting of the psyche-altering rapper-producer Kawil and the lyrical firestarter D, both distinct in flow and lyrical approach, fuse both styles artistically and musically to play their part in this musical landscape. Armed with an arsenal of 12-bit drum machines and samplers, drawing from a rich palette of vinyl cuts and their meditations on societal sickness and how it weighs heavy on the psyche, OBD amplifies the voice of the masses while harnessing the power of hip-hop as an intellectual art form, to make you think, feel and question everything you thought you knew. Collaborating with other musicians and turntablists, OBD pulls in sounds that hit you from every angle. Their unflinching sonic identity is a direct reflection of the chaos and clarity they see in the world.
