Now we the cops, enforcing the laws, so we get behind bars…

This premiered on Late Night with Rosenberg this past Sunday, but we waited for the one with curses (aka CDQ). This is the first leak off of their joint LP entitled, The Rawth EP.

We’ve been waiting for this mixtape to drop since I heard Asher Roth‘s track, Muddy Swim Trunks [here]. If you been following Roth since his debut album has dropped he has been stepping up his game each track. Plus, anyone with a song called Rick Smits will always be on posted on this website. Check out his mixtape Seared Foie Gras w/ Quince & Cranberry.

N.E.R.D | Hot N Fun feat Asher Roth and Nelly Furtado

// June 24th, 2010 // No Comments » // Listening Section, Video

Add another song to my Summer of 2010 mix. For those keeping record at home, I have B.o.B., Nothing On You and Travie McCoy, Billionaire on that playlist. Asher Roth jumps on N.E.R.D‘s Hot N Fun and I have to say each time I hear this kid rhyme he is steadily improving. Now we have no clue if this is an original remix, but it blends well. Check the tune out below and the video after the jump.

Asher Roth | Muddy Swim Trunks [Video]

// May 17th, 2010 // No Comments » // Video

Saw this video late last week and wasn’t going to post it on the site. However, I found myself playing this throughout the entire weekend, so I thought why not. The last few joints I’ve heard from Asher Roth have been really solid tunes. I think this kid is starting to come into his zone, and this track is proves that.

FYI – It’s a NSFW video, because there is about four seconds of boobies.

B.O.B Ft. Asher Roth| F The Money [Audio]

// February 2nd, 2010 // No Comments » // Listening Section

B.O.B has released his new mixtape “May 25th” which is available for free download. I’m sure a few folks are thrown back by my post with this one but anytime you can cleverly use a Joni Mitchell sample, then you’ve got my attention. The track features Asher Roth and was produced by K-an-e Wes-. Be on the lookout for talented Georgia native and his official debut album “The Adventures Of Bobby Ray” hitting stores soon.

The Best of Summer of 09

// September 11th, 2009 // No Comments » // Video

Woke up this morning on my way to the Cafe, and had to pile through the nasty rain, and tons of people on their way to ground zero.  Needless to say, summer is coming to an end.  Early this week we dropped our Maroon Cafe Summer tracks (here), and this morning, we are showing you Quddus, Best of Summer 09 video.

Music festivals are the best thing about the summer and arguably the best one is Lollapalooza. This summer I decided to film as much of my experience there as possible and make a short film out of it. This is what I came up with. The all access perspective brings you right in the mix. It features Lykke Li, Snoop Dogg, Kings of Leon, Asher Roth, Vampire Weekend, Miike Snow, Santigold, Atmosphere, Dan Deacon, Bat for Lashes, Jane’s Addiction and Bon Iver.
