Chicago’s multi-instrumental enigma NNAMDÏ crashes into The DOD45 Show for his very first visit, and this one goes everywhere. From math-rock chaos to hip-hop confessionals to avant-pop surrealism, NNAMDÏ opens up about the creative impulse that refuses to obey genre, job security, or even gravity. Born to Nigerian parents, armed with an electrical-engineering degree he’ll probably never use again, NNAMDÏ walks us through the leap from “safe” life to full-time sonic adventure. We talk about finding peace in the noise, what it costs to stay independent, and why humor might be the most radical instrument in music. We unpack the layered insanity of his albums Brat and Please Have a Seat, and touch the early weirdness of “Scarlett Johansson” and “Vasectomy,” and suggest “Let Go of My Ego” as the moment he learned to stop explaining himself. Then we break the format and dive into the DOD45 gauntlet: 🌀 If reincarnation’s real, which fly species does NNAMDÏ choose — dragon, house, butter, or may? 🌀 Who's getting the vote... Kendrick or Björk? 🌀 Wet the toothbrush before or after the toothpaste? 🌀 Cats or Synths? Harp or Recorder? Beach sunrise or City sunrise? 🌀 And somehow Mr. T comes up, and so do eyelashes? (He has answers… and they’re beautifully strange.) When Mr. Dibbs bursts in with a “Mayo or Miracle Whip” blitz, NNAMDÏ's asked to throw Tai into a vat of either.... which spirals into pitting Nirvana vs Nine Inch Nails and Sooper Records vs Super Mario... NNAMDÏ doesn’t flinch. He just laughs, reflects, and somehow turns it all philosophical. 🎬 Movie Share: I’m Thinking of Ending Things... Charlie Kaufman’s brain-bender starring Jessie Buckley. A film that bends identity and time the same way NNAMDÏ bends genre and expectation. 🎧 Music Shares: • “57 Ways to Die” by Lord Toozy & J57... dark humor with a killer pulse. • “Future Now” by Fritz Cook... a hopeful groove about persistence and strange beauty. 💻 Other Key Links ArtByTai – https://www.instagram.com/artbytai   DOD45 – https://www.instagram.com/dod45w   Strange Famous Records – https://StrangeFamousRecords.com   Mr Dibbs – https://MrDibbs.com   Speakerface Store – https://Speakerface.Store   🎧 DOD45 LUVS Playlist: https://tidal.com/playlist/9dd15982-32da-45a5-87d6-21be12e911a4  f you love fearless art, unfiltered conversation, and creative minds that color outside the frame, hit LIKE, COMMENT, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE this episode.
