Ol' Dirty Bastard was an American rapper and producer, born on November 15, 1968 in Brooklyn, New York. He was a founding member of a rap group primarily from Staten Island, New York. ODB sadly passed away on November 13, 2004 in New York City.
He was known for his unique style and eccentric personality, which made him stand out in the hip-hop industry. With his raw and gritty lyrics, Ol' Dirty Bastard became a prominent figure in the music scene during the 1990s.
As a cousin of Robert Diggs and Gary Grice, he had strong connections within the music industry. Despite facing personal struggles throughout his life, Ol' Dirty Bastard's talent and contributions to rap music continue to be celebrated by fans worldwide.

Return's title and various lyrics acknowledge Wu-Tang's self-built mythology, but Ol' Dirty Bastard's solo debut, like the man himself, runs on its own idiosyncratic power. Rapping forcefully and on point—mumbling, singing, allowing weird wordless sounds to escape his throat in an assertion of his right to make random noise—ODB slips from mode to mode like Marvin Gaye juxtaposing the gruff and the smooth in the same song. The production, mostly by the RZA, sets the man down in the middle of funky, shape-shifting tracks to scream for blood, shout out to the Temptations and "you other grooops!" and threaten "any MC in any 52 states." "I love that guy," ODB secret identity Russell Jones declares of his alter ego at the outset; after a listen to this disc, it's likely at least part of you will, too.
