Frequently heralded as weird, eccentric and oddball, Chicago-based rapper Nnamdi Ogbonnaya’s music lives up to the freaky hype. A mind-bending amalgam of hip-hop, trip-hop, R&B, jazz, funk and rock, the Windy City MC’s tracks burn with off-kilter production and confounding lyrics. In addition to his solo work, the multi-instrumentalist performs in numerous other Chicago-based projects, such as punk outfit Nervous Passenger, math-rockers Monobody and lo-fi band Teen Cult. The artist also runs his own DIY record label, Sooper Records. Ogbannaya performs on Sunday, June 3, at the Monkey House in Winooski. Locals Loupo and DJ Disco Phantom add support.
