I’ve had my thoughts about Asher Roth over the years. But, one thing has remained consistent when I’m talking of him. Even if I’m not always in love with his subject matter, the dude has bars and has a grasp on how to manipulate those bars into dope multis and punchlines. Rappity-rap aside, he’s consistently […]

This one has been in the works for a minute and all I can say is this. Thank God it finally dropped. NYC’s Punskription (h/t Lex Rush for introducing me, by the way) gives us a mix between trip-hop, alternative rap, old-school rap and just straight bars on this one. If you need some energetic […]

Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @KuuLYork – "Link With Legends" (Prod. @StatikSelekt)
NYC artist KuuL links with some Statik Selektah production to “Link With Legends.” The switch-up is what’ll get your attention, as the first two verses are great but are more like wistful dreaming of “what ifs.” But, the track is fire and has that real now-“old school” NYC feel to it. Dope production + dope lyrics […]
