BLK ODYSSY

BLK ODYSSY, an emerging force in the contemporary music scene, blends elements of funk, jazz, soul, and hip-hop to create a unique and compelling sonic fingerprint. The artist behind BLK ODYSSY is multifaceted musician, Samuel Houston, whose creative vision guides the project's exploration of black American life's complexities and societal reflections. Houston hails from New Jersey, but it was his move to Austin, Texas, that galvanized the distinctive sound and message of BLK ODYSSY.

The project gained critical acclaim with the release of "BLK VINTAGE" and "BLK VINTAGE: THE REPRISE," which set the stage for an exploration of black identity and experience couched in soul-stirring rhythms and candid lyricism. Tracks like "BENNY'S GOT A GUN", which addresses the harrowing issue of gun violence, and "COMPLEX OF KILLING A MAN" showcase BLK ODYSSY's capacity for forthright storytelling layered over lush, immersive beats. The recent album "DIAMONDS & FREAKS" and its accompanying live renditions and instrumentals, display the project's range and versatility, marking BLK ODYSSY as a poignant voice amidst the current landscape of socially conscious musicians. Whether through groovy, bass-heavy anthems like "GHOST RIDE" and "SUICIDE DOORS" or the more introspective "HONEYSUCKLE NECKBONE," BLK ODYSSY's music moves both the body and the mind, offering an odyssey through the rich terrain of black musical tradition fused with contemporary insight.
