Ny Odus fuses jazz and hip-hop in his latest track, 'Do What You Feel'. A track that is full of smooth keys, interesting drum grooves and fast rapping, he takes inspiration from everyone from Flying Lotus to Kendrick Lamar and Parliament.

The instrumentation on this track hits the spot, with these smooth Rhodes keys that work with bass and drums to keep the main groove going along with trumpets that appear during the hooks. Every instrument feels organic and warm. In the second half, the song slows down and it provides a nice contrast to the rest of the track with the rapping taking a smoother and more slurred approach to match the slowed instruments.

The versatility of the vocals is something to be admired, Ny Odus switches between smooth singing in the hook to fast paced raps during the verses, and the flow works so well that he sounds natural and comfortable doing both.
