It’s no secret that Nottz is one of the better producers in the hip-hop game today, so it’s with great pleasure that I (belatedly) bring you the first track from the upcoming free EP from himself and Asher Roth.
A great track to kick things off with, with the production being a raw, gritty beat that clearly has its roots in the old-school style and helps to dispel some misconceptions about Asher’s rapping: he takes this beat on superbly, delivering a nicely-paced and fitting verse with some great lines. I’d never heard Nottz rap before this and he does a decent job too, bringing a more aggressive, Royce Da 5’9″-esque style to the track. Hip-hop heads should definitely be checking for this one.

Asher just let loose of a DJ-free version of his latest mixtape. Have to say, I didn’t really mind Wreckineyez on the original, but as Asher says this is better for DJs/radioplay. This has a couple of additional tracks too, so be sure to grab it even if its just for those.
Asher Roth-Seared Foie Gras with Quince and Cranberry (Fat Free)
Another pretty funny video for you here, from Asher’s Seared Foie Gras with Quince & Cranberry mixtape, here is a track dedicated to Tony Braxton. Which was inspired by her grinding on him in Vegas last year.
Sorry for being AWOL this evening, football-related antics and all.
Nice to get some new bars from Asher. Great selection of track too, as this is exactly the type of beat that suits his chilled out style, as it offers a likeable energetic contrast. Just the one verse on this, but definitely one that refreshes the original for those of you who fancied a bit of a change. Looking forward to some more remixes of both this track, and from Asher.

A lot of people caught the radio rip last week, but you know how we do it over here: we want that good quality stuff.
It was worth holding out, as this is a really, really good track. The first single from his next album, the production is very likeable in its simplicity and pushes Asher to adopt a much quicker flow than he usually does. Memorable hook on this one rounds it off nicely, and it has to be said that the progression in Asher’s rapping technique is definitely evident in this one. One to check out for both Asher’s current fans, and hip-hop heads.

Interesting one to kick off your day, and I’m quite looking forward to giving this a listen. A good group of decent artists pay homage to Cypress Hill, including Asher Roth, Styles P, Sheek Louch, Redman and buzzing man of the moment Yelawolf (amongst others). Should be a fairly entertaining listen, and includes some of Cypress Hill’s classics in there too.
The Uprising Mixtape
Pretty funny video for one of the better tracks from Asher’s recent mixtape. There is definitely a duck involved. And boobs.
It’s a bit annoying that Asher gets underrated as a rapper based on the fun nature of I Love College, but hopefully tracks like this show people that he does have some talent as a rapper aside from that. His album certainly displayed that he can go. On this one you can see even more improvement too, as his flow is likeable, and his lyrics are as witty as ever.

From Asher’s upcoming Seared Foie Gras with Quince and Cranberry mixtape (what a name/dish!), this is a freestyle over Talib Kweli’s classic track Hot Thing (amazing video too, be sure to click the link).
I haven’t checked this out, but undoubtedly most of you will waste no time in doing so, and I expect Asher to do a good job on this. His verses recently have been pretty good, and I’m looking forward to the tape.

You should remember the B.o.B/Asher Roth collab (produced by Kanye) I posted a few days back, and have hopefully checked out the better version on B.o.B’s mixtape.
Here’s a version with no DJ tags and in even better quality. Always nice when we get goodies like this, especially for such an enjoyable track. Definitely one to grab.
B.o.B-F*ck the Money ft. Asher Roth
Wow. What a trio!
This is only a radio rip from the premiere of this yesterday, but you’ve only got to wait until Monday to get the full version as it will be on B.o.B’s mixtape May 25th. Looking forward to it, as this track sounds pretty good!

Got two new singles to drop before I get into the stash accumulated recently (I’ll do it tomorrow, promise!). First one is this chilled effort from the Cons, with Asher on the feature. The production has a mixture of elements, including a Biggie sample, with the outcome being something chilled/introspective with a slightly haunting edge.
Cons brings his usual high standard rhymes, and Asher’s feature is good too. Nice to hear him on this sort of production, and it’s a worthwhile guest spot.
Consequence-Childish Games ft. Asher Roth
2009 was one hell of an interesting year. We saw the comeback of Eminem, albums by the 2 other big names of hip-hop in Jay-Z and 50 Cent, and once again we waited all year for Dr. Dre’s Detox which never came. It’s fair to say that despite this the year hasn’t been dominated by the big boys and we’ve seen a gradual change in hip hop – the gangsta rap of previous years has steadily evolved into what can be described as ‘Hip Hop Hipsters’. Kanye led the way back in 2004 and by 2009 the likes of Lupe Fiasco, Kid Cudi, Wale and Asher Roth have emerged.

A quick one from me. Both tracks are pretty dope, and definitely worth grabbing even if you’re just a fan of one/some of the featured artists. The Statik Selektah track is especially good, considering it has a frighteningly talented line-up.

In what can best be described as a fitting coincidence given the retrospective nature of this particular post, 2009 was very much a year of hindsight. I rediscovered artists I’d neglected, I discovered artists who I’d simply ignored, but most importantly I began to see the fundamental flaw in my appreciation of music (especially hip-hop) and how I probably got it wrong.
Don’t make the same mistakes. Click on to grab some unmissable tracks, and of course my discoveries from the year gone by. I’ve thrown in a couple of lists too, as I know some of you can’t deal with excess reading.

Asher comes through with a freestyle over Saigon’s C’mon Baby. This is expected to be on the upcoming Greenhouse Effect 2 mixtape. It’s pretty nice, and is worth picking up for Asher fans. I do however suspect that this is unfinished, as there are a couple of open verses at the end.
Asher Roth-Rick Smits
A bundle of joy, if you will.
Click below to pick up tracks from N*E*R*D, Royce Da 5’9″, the new Fallout Boy single and more. I’ve also thrown in a couple of tracks that I’d skipped over/forgotten to put up previously, so grab those too. Alright? Good.

This is good stuff. The video here is Blink-182 playing a couple of pranks on Asher Roth (who was one of their opening acts) during the last gig of their comeback tour. First, they drop the curtain on him, and follow it up with…well, just watch.
Be sure to click below to watch Asher and his guys get an equally hilarious revenge on Blink during All The Small Things!
