ODD SQUAD FAMILY

🇺🇸 Phoenix, Arizona

@djRAYCRAFT PICK

Odd Squad Family is an independent hip hop group from Phoenix, Arizona. Made up of 3 very unique individuals, Odd Squad Family is turning heads everywhere they go, and not just because of their appearance. Their content is an inspiring blend of positive vibes and classic hip hop influences intertwined with a fresh, modern delivery.

MEMEBERS:

N.U.B.S.

Nubs, which is an acronym for Normally Underestimated By Sight, was born with a rare condition, leaving him without arms or legs. Not having any limbs is enough of a struggle to overcome already but Nubs also had to endure the bullying and teasing that came along with his condition, but instead of submitting to the pressure and letting life get him down, Nubs, resorted to music. Putting his real life trials and tribulations into his tracks Nubs creates content that many can relate to.

SNOWMAN

Snowman, like nubs, was also born with a rare condition, but instead of not having limbs he was born without pigment. 1 in 20,000 people in the U.S. are born with albinism, and Snowman is one of them. Dealing with similar struggles, Snow, found himself pouring his feelings into hip hop, which lead to the start of his friendship and contribution to the Odd Squad Family.

A-FACTOR

A-Factor is the newest addition to the Odd Squad Family, and although he may seem relatively normal by appearance, he has had his own battles to overcome throughout life. Bringing a fresh new perspective to the group, A-Factor lays it down on the track with his unique sound and style, expressing himself in a way that must be heard.

The Odd Squad Family is a different type of group. Despite the fact that they suffer from disabilities, they are able to put it down line after line. Each member offers a different but similar style to blend together into a beautiful track. This group hasn’t been at it long, but they are looking to come up big in the near future. Their lyrics are relatable and refreshingly real. You can feel the passion in every word.

Hope you like my pick,
