We catch up with Northeast’s finest, Tokyo Daimo for three big songs he dropped recently. First a tribute to Uptown DC’s Diddy, produced by ILL Wonka. The CBE member was gunned down last year.

Sudanese-American hiphop artist Oddisee’s new EP, “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.
Oddisee is also ready to unveil his 2016 plan which includes a new instrumental album in May, a tour with his band Good Compny from May through July, and the much anticipated follow up to “The Good Fight”, a new solo album in the fall.

Two of Southeast’s DC finest link up for some pure, unadulterated heat. “Flex” has a classic One Way Boobe verse , a distorted, beyond catchy hook from Icee as well as a layered verse in his signature style. Slopes on the beat by the way, he’s been everywhere

Don’t sleep on Medusa.
