When even looking at the album cover and name of Asher Roth's new mixtape Seared Foie Gras w/ Quince and Cranberry, you already know that this mixtape is going to be unique. And surprisingly it was. I was expecting this mixtape to be very similar Asher's Asleep In The Bread Aisle. Upbeat, childish, and catchy with songs like Lark On My Go Kart, I Love College, and Blunt Cruisin. However Asher Paul Roth had something else in mind. The mixtape start on a hard track Muddy Swim Trunks which has a nice slow beat and bass line that you would find being blasted out of a 64' ghostriding down the street. One thing I like most about the mixtape was the way Asher not only changed the type of beats he raps on but the seriousness of his raps. He is truly evolving to a true MC, not just a one hit college wonder. He also incorpoartes rappers such as B.O.B and Talib Kweli and raps on numerous beats by producing greats 9th Wonder, Pharell, Kanye, Just Blaze, and the late J Dilla. His Dj, Dj Wreckineyes is also sick, changing seamlessly between songs and adding a unique piece to each song. Asher definitely impressed me with the mixtape, figuring it has been on repeat for about 24 hours now. Check it out if you haven't already.
Tracks to listen to : Muddy Swim Trunks, Fuck The Money, Sour Patch Kids Remix, Actually just listen to the whole thing its sick
