Asher Roth - Asleep In the Bread Aisle [2009]

It's easy to write off Asher Roth. There are many reasons to do so as well. You can say he is a sellout, or a shitty rapper that just talks about parties and girls, or that he is a fake Eminem. Whatever you chose, just take a second and listen to the other songs on his album. He is actually a skilled rapper who does pretty well on the rest of the album. Also the production is pretty good if you ask me. At least listen to the songs posted.

Tracklist:
1. Lark on My Go Cart (prod. by Oren Yoel and David Appleton)
2. Blunt Cruisin (prod. by Oren Yoel)
3. I Love College (prod. By Mike Carren and Ben Allen)
4. La Di Da (prod. By Don Cannon)
5. Be By Myself Feat. Cee-Lo (prod. by Oren Yoel)
6. She Don’t Want A Man (prod. by Oren Yoel)
7. Sour Patch Kids (prod. by Oren Yoel)
8. As I Em (prod. by Oren Yoel and David Appleton)
9. Lion's Roar (feat Busta Rhymes)10. Bad Day Feat. Jazze Pha (prod. by Oren Yoel and David Appleton)
11. His Dream Feat. Miguel (prod. by Yoel)
12. Fallin
13. Perfectionist
14. The Lounge

Watsky - Watsky [2009]

Like most other people who have heard this album, I first heard of Watsky as the "Pale kid raps fast" kid. However, he's not just some one-hit wonder. George Watsky has been doing rapping and spoken word contests for more than 5 years, and he has gotten pretty good at rapping. Since the album, he has put out some more songs on Youtube, such as Stupidass. In his album, he covers topics from epilepsy to racial issues, and does so over well-produced beats with a unique style of rapping that keeps you listening.

Tracklist:
1. Headphones
2. Amplified (feat. Rafael Casal)
3. Fuck an Emcee Name
4. G.O.A.T.(W.G.M.F.M.C.)
5. Waking Hour (feat. Mariami)
6. The Girl Next Door (To Everybody Else)
7. Run My Mouth (feat. Danny McClain)
8. Who’s Been Loving You?
9. I Got This Love (feat. Passion)
10. Fight! Fight! Fight! (feat. Dahlak Brathwaite)
11. Color Lines (feat. Catch Wreck)
12. Hercules
13. Two Blue Moons
14. Everything Turns Gold (feat. Gift of Gab and Mieka Pauley)
