Mello Music Group emcee and producer Oddisee gave fans a surprise EP today for free, along with his tour plans for 2016. ‘Alwasta’ is an Arabic term for a person in a community who uses their standing and social or monetary currency to build bridges among people, or as it is described on his bandcamp, Alwasta roughly translates to mean “the plug.”
