Album Of The Day: Art Ambidextrous by Propaganda & Odd Thomas

Album Art of Propaganda and Odd Thomas's Art Ambidextrous album - A black-and-white photo of two men in a long hallway. On the left is a black man in a black hoodie with the letters 'Lrg' printed on the front. A dozen feet down the hallway on the right is a white man with a beard and black hair and also in a black hoodie. Like most of the hallway in the background, this man in the background is a bit blurry. The hallway looks like it might have walls and a ceiling of wood of various shades.

Released 15 years ago this past Sunday, this is the third album by Propaganda and his first collaboration with Odd Thomas. Odd Thomas makes the top-notch musical beds, and Propaganda provides the lyrics. This is not an album I've listened to as much as Propaganda's more recent work, and some tracks are more spoken word poetry over a musical bed than rap, but it's still a good listen. A few tracks are love poems about Prop's wife, and one interlude pokes fun at poetry slams. And, throughout, Propaganda educates us about the streets he grew up on and his view on history and politics. I really love Propaganda's work and his style.
