Oddisee during performance at Baby’s All Right
Today, Oddisee has surprisingly dropped his new self-produced EP, Alwasta. The 7 track EP blends the sounds of rap, funk, soul and jazz to give the MC an unique aesthetic of his own.
The DMV native has big plans for 2016. According to his bandcamp, Alwasta — which is an Arabic word that refers to a member of the community who acts as a connector using their wealth of social currency A.K.A. the plug — is just one of two EPs dropping.
In May, Oddisee will be showcasing much more of his producer side with an instrumental tape right before he heads on tour with his band, Good Compny. As the tour wraps up in late July, he will work on his next solo album set to drop in the fall. The forthcoming project will be the follow up his 2015 critically acclaimed album, The Good Fight.
