Odetari
Odetari is a Houston-based producer, rapper, and songwriter specializing in frenetic, ALL CAPS-style EDM rooted in glitchy trap, aggressive club beats, and climactic video game bombast. The self-styled purveyor of "final boss music" broke into the mainstream in 2023 with a string of social media-spawned singles ("Good Loyal Thots," "Narcissistic Personality Disorder," "Look Don't Touch," "I Love You Hoe," and "GMFU"), all of which reached the upper echelons of the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.
Taha Othman Ahmad was born in Houston, Texas, and began experimenting with SoundCloud rap in his early teens. At 18, he started working under the Odetari moniker, fusing his Palestinian family name with the video game giant Atari. In 2023, Ahmad worked as a substitute teacher at a Houston high school. At night, he uploaded trap beats and twisted video game edits featuring audio deepfakes of characters with his music in the background to his social media channel. Shortly after being fired, he watched his single "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" debut at number 11 on the Billboard EDM chart. "Good Loyal Thots" followed suit, reaching the number 8 slot, and by late summer, the unemployed substitute teacher had inked a multi-album record deal with Artist Partner Group. 3×3, a collaborative EP with New Zealand producer 9Lives, arrived in July, and Odetari's debut solo EP, XIII Sorrows, appeared later that September. A Trippie Redd remix of Odetari and 9Lives' "I Love You Hoe" was released later that October, as were the standalone solo singles "Green Goblin" and "Hypnotic Data."
