Asher Roth – Pabst & Jazz Mixtape Review

troyisMAJOR — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 03:23:06 +0000

Many of you only know Asher Roth as “the random white guy who made ‘I Love College’”, if this applies to you allow me to remove your ignorance…

Pabst and Jazz (feat Hassani Kwess; Kenny Keys): 4.25/5
Choices (feat Action Bronson): 4.5/5
In The Kitchen: 5/5
Useless (feat Pac Div): 2.75/5
More Cowbell: 4/5
Bastermating (feat A$AP Twelvy, Chip Tha Ripper, YP): 4.25/5
Common Knowledge: 4.5/5
Golden Midas (feat Boldy James, Nico Segal, Greg Landfair Jr. of KTD): 4.25/5
Insurance (feat ZZ Ward, Rockie Fresh, Blu): 3.5/5
Hard Times (feat Kids These Days, Casey Veggies): 4.5/5
Ampersand: 4.75/5
Get By (feat Nico Segal of Kids These Days): 4.5/5 (I feel like I’ve heard these drums in an Aaiyah song)
Not Meant 2 Be (feat Nathan Santos): 4.25/5
Running Away (feat Nathan Santos): 4.5/5
Charlie Chaplin (feat Phil Ade’, GLC, Thurz): 4.75/5
Dope Shit: 5/5

4.32/5

Asher comes back with arguably his best release yet. He continues his humorous rhymes over playful beats, this time while calling in a host of features including funny-man Action Bronson, former U-N-I spitter Thurz, G.O.O.D Music affiliate GLC, and more in arguably the best feature list of the year. Blended Babies produced the bulk of Pabst & Jazz while Chuck Inglish had a hand in a few tracks and Asher did what he does best with his silky smooth flow. However, Asher showed his variety in subject matter when put the jokes aside on the second half of the album to vent his frustrations with the music industry on “Dope Shit” and vented on “Insurance” starring Chicago’s own Rockie Fresh and Cali’s Blu, and continued to air out his mind on “Not Meant 2 Be” and “Running Away”, both featuring musician/composer Nathan Santos.

This mixtape is accessible to anyone – it’s hip and poppy enough for the teeny boppers yet lyrical enough and boasts enough underground features for the hip-hop heads – recommended to all. Asher showed here that he’s more than “the guy who made I Love College”, displaying himself as home of the “dope”-est rhymers in the rap game.

Sound FX – Anywhere But Here

OfficialDrama — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 23:40:56 +0000

Riverside, California twosome Sound FX are all about tackling the real-life complexities that other rappers gloss over on their way to the next punchline. On new single Anywhere but Here, Maddy McFly and Dupree continue in that vein, delving into the everyday frustrations experienced by musicians who don’t live in a major metropolis, and lack the necessary overhead to lay down roots in a new locale. Over Da and Mcfly’s understated piano chords and midtempo percussion rhythm, the emcees perfectly capture the sense of stasis that comes with being stuck in a place you’ve outgrown: “Searching for a place to rest now / ’cause the bed I have, my feet hang off the edge now…” If this down-to-Earth banger strikes a chord, you’ll undoubtedly find more to like on the tweaked re-release of debut project Still Dreaming, dropping August 31. In addition, fans should keep it locked for details on Sound Fx’ forthcoming follow-up, Still Dreaming II.

Omar Aura – 1,000 Palm Trees (Feat. Fashawn)

OfficialDrama — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 03:34:58 +0000

Omar Aura‘s home streets may come with the same crime and drama that are a fact of life in any inner-city area, but when the sun’s shining, there’s a cool breeze and the pretty girls are out in full force, Fresno can feel just like paradise. On 1,000 Palm Trees, the latest single off his forthcoming street release, the unsigned buzzmaker invites listeners to kick it with him and FNM-acclaimed neighbor Fashawn as they enjoy a perfect day in the Grizzly City. Stantastic sets the mood behind the boards, lifting a smooth and summery saxophone-laced groove from Blackbyrds classic Mysterious Vibes. The collaborators come with breezy bars to match the beat, Aura dropping verses suffused with local color (and Grizzly City Kush smoke) on the front and back, and Fashawn taking the good with the bad on the middle (”I’ll probably never leave the West, but if I stay all I know is I’ma need a vest..”) How about it, readers—do you need more Omar Aura in your life? Then be sure to cop the Cali hopeful’s Auradon Sessions mixtape when it arrives on the ‘net in late September
