With grandiose, symphonic production that ties itself in knots like a musical MC Escher drawing, DC-born Oddisee raps in parallel, underlining the circular path of the rat race. Its broad approach makes the track, a critique of economic oppression that manages to capture the claustrophobic feel of its effects, particularly relevant and relatable. “Way In Way Out” comes from Oddisee’s album People Hear What They See, out today.
