about
Do Nada is a collaboration between Toronto based hip hop storyteller Odario and Edmonton based jazz band with a beat aesthetic Good Information. Odario says that "Do Nada is a song about doing nothing. Our post-pandemic era seems to have quickly ramped back up to speed, maybe even at a faster pace. This song goes out to all the hopeless romantics in search of a simpler, uncomplicated lifestyle. It's about taking a moment to reflect on a rapidly spinning world. Our society is so caught up in overachieving, I wanted to write an anthem for the beloved underachievers."
lyrics
captivity of time… captivity of time
we see things differently in time
whatever the cost, whatever the loss
proceed with caution, this boy’s exhausted
accosted by time…
was once exhilarated until it cost me
I’ve got that love myself thirst, that save myself first
a steep incline you don’t have an inkling of the confines
the delusion is proven… massage my temples
work behind the scenes like b-roll and find some kind of control
I been busy… it’s dizzying like Gillespie
time is precious and elegant Fitzgerald
a domestic silence
I want nothing to do…
I wanna wheel it back
(wanna) wanna chill, reflect…
press rewind I wanna stop going fast
disappear and I mean it too…
lost time that I can’t recoup
these days, want nothing to do
dude… I want nothing to do
I wanna raise the bar on what it means to embark on a lower level, I wanna hum when I walk… slow pacing, recap the stars we can situate where the wild things are… hot vampire, hot like campfire soaked in sound bath - ASMR - face to face with my thoughts and feelings, crates all night run tracks Darjeeling singing “oooh what a feeling” tapped out still learning how to breathe in my house, remember how to breathe out - calm down - you can holler if you need me - battles - romantic fool, botanicals like an anesthesia… house of blues attitude, I’m on my “stay at home” I’m on my “balabusta”… tape the loop up, time to loose up… reduce, do things I used to, solid like an institution, pass the potion - dude, I got nothing to prove… outta here in the clear vamoose, in the air disappear like poof - I slept it, like narcoleptic do nada nada… I got my life on snooze

Odario is a storyteller, a hip-hop junkie and a lover of many musical soundscapes. He is embedded in the beat and submerged
in the bass. His solo project expresses all of these qualities; tackling the many sides of "beat poetry". Odario is known for his work in Grand Analog and hosting CBC Music’s Afterdark....more
