The story

How we got here

A love letter to a neighborhood — and the run that turned it into a Sunday morning ritual.

  1. Chapter 01

    A love letter dropped.

    April 30, 2026 — Oddisee and Heno. release From Takoma With Love. Twelve tracks about the block that raised them both. Not nostalgia — gratitude. Two artists, a generation apart, writing home to the same neighborhood.

  2. Chapter 02

    Five years. Then a collision.

    Four hundred miles away in Pittsburgh, one of the first listeners wasn't a stranger. Nick and Heno. had spent five years building together — music ventures, tech partnerships, late-night ideas that became real things. The last two years, Nick's project was different: doing hard things and getting his health back.

  3. Chapter 03

    We run it back.

    August 2, 2026 — Run Takoma With Love. One loop through the neighborhood the album is written to. Free, 100 runners, small on purpose. Not a concert. Not a promo. A community moving through its own streets — the most physical way to say thank you.
