Amir mal wieder. AlWasta - sein Werk.
Der unter dem Künstlernamen Oddisee bekannte sudanesisch-amerikanische Künstler, droppte vor drei Tagen eine wundervolle EP.
Sein Debut hatten wir im Oktober 2013 schon veröffentlicht und gefeiert. Das Folgealbum "The Goof Fight", war im April letzen Jahres auch ein Knaller, wo er mit Own Appeal locker über eine CRU-Beat flowte.
“AlWasta,” takes its title from the Arabic colloquial term used to mean (to use colloquial English) “the plug.” The term “wasta” comes from the Arabic word “wasat,” meaning “middle” or “middleman,” and describes a member of the community who acts as a connector using their wealth of social currency. Understanding the value of social currency & how to use it (for better or worse) is what Amir Elkhalifa aka Oddisee focused on as the primary inspiration for his writings.
In einer von abstraktem Luxus und schnellen Trends überfluteten Zeit, hat Oddisee aus Maryland, immer wieder ein Händchen für gute Beats und schöne Rhymes.
