Asher Roth – Tangerine Girl [Stream]

“Growing up is inevitable,” Asher Roth tells Billboard when talking about his new album, “RetroHash.” Five years ago, the Pennsylvania rapper was not talking about maturity — he was chanting the words “chug” and “keg stand” on “I Love College,” his breakout single which eventually peaked at No. 12 on the Hot 100 chart. But with “RetroHash,” due out on Apr. 22, the 28-year-old rapper has graduated to a more adult lyrical focus, as evident on the funky, blissed-out new album track “Tangerine Girl.”

The UN (Roc Marciano, Dino Brave, Mike Raw, Laku) – Game Of Death [Stream]

Ten years after its initial & highly slept-on release, Fat Beats Records & Frozen Files are proud to present the first-ever reissue of UN Or U Out, the classic debut album from The UN. Consisting of Roc Marciano, Dino Brave, Mike Raw, and Laku, the UN first emerged on Pete Rock’s 2001 Petestrumentals album, a primarily all instrumental release minus two tracks—“Nothing Lesser” and “Cake”, both featuring vocals by The UN. At the time, the group hadn’t performed live and had no major release out, although Roc Marciano had already made his name as a member of Busta Rhymes’ Flipmode Squad. Pete Rock fans were at first perplexed by the vocal appearance of an unknown group. Yet Pete not only had the confidence and foresight to introduce the four MCs, he also furthered the collaboration, making it full circle by lending production on “Game of Death (G.O.D.)” , “Avenue” and “Ain’t No Thang” on UN or U Out. UN or U Out remains a timeless listen, a deeply succinct homage to New York’s bygone era of gritty boom-bap, made with tasteful nods to Queensbridge’s cold-steel aesthetic.
