The Black’r The Berry is a paradoxical auditory excursion. In modest bravado, Oldsmowill De Ville expounds on contemporary issues over instrumentals sampled from eras gone by. As chief producer of the project ODV fuses throwback elements such as 70s R&B and 80s funk with modern hip-hop influences to bring a refreshing and unique sound. The albums 17 tracks recount the various facets of a life filled with adversity in modern America, while exposing injustices widely ignored in contemporary society. The introduction sets the stage with a declaration of humanity’s self-induced tailspin before traversing topics of personal struggle, enduring faith, and trap fantasies. In the artists own words, “It’s more than a body of music; it’s a mirror of life as we know it in 2014”– Oldsmowill De Ville
