KOBIE DEE X ODDISEE – NO DISRESPECT
No Disrespect’ featuring Kobie Dee is the latest in a series of collaborations Oddisee has recorded for Australian label Low Key Source with some of the best contemporary artists in Australia and New Zealand. The first release was ‘Midas’, in November 2025, with Aotearoa’s David Dallas, which is now available on all streaming services and digital download platforms.
Gliding effortlessly over Oddisee’s funk-fuelled drum breaks, basslines and cinematic melodies and textures, Kobie Dee spends the first verse of ‘No Disrespect’ reflecting on life’s lessons. After counting his lessons, comparing the bridges he’s built to the ones he should have burned, and savouring the Sydney Opera House view, he lands on a simple realisation. In his words, “I’m just trying to show my sons and daughter what I see, and that’s a world that’s for the taking, full of opportunity.”
On the chorus, Oddisee jumps out from behind the boards to spit some quick game about keeping his team straight, chasing dreams, and the feeling of getting better and better with age. From there, Kobie Dee taps straight back in, telling the sort of stories you can only earn when you start looking around, make your way into the world through your art and bring the blessings home. Ever vigilant, Kobie sees all the pieces of the puzzle and how they fit into the bigger picture. Art like this is for life.
