Cover by Paris Alleyne
In a fallen New York City, elemental influences have converged various versions of the city’s most notorious areas from across the multiverse into a single reality. A ghostly apparition is now haunting the streets of Queens. On the Lower East Side, ferocious artificial intelligence has taken over the streets. 100 blocks north in Harlem, time travelers are having a block party. And that’s just the beginning… Our guide through this fractured mutation of New York’s past, present, and future is none other than Old Dirty Bastard himself. Follow him as he guides us through a strange, urgent, and powerful story in which freedom and oppression, wealth and poverty, love and loss, and even life and death are cast like dice in a cosmic game of chance.
Iselene Jones, ODB’s widow, said: ODB: Oddities, Discord, B-Sides – Lyrical Ruckus in the City further influences ODB’s tradition and hip-hop as an art form. He was and continues to be an inspiration to my family, my children, and my fans around the world.
