Philly Up-comer Asaad is making waves with his latest, Dirty Middle Class. This project which is a prelude to his EP entitled “006”, features an all-star cast of production by Bink! (Jay-Z, Kanye West, Rick Ross), Nascent & QB (50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, L.E.P. Bogus Boys), Ritz Reynolds (Mac Miller, The Roots). Asaad shows his ass on soul pumped tracks like “Dirty White Leathers”, “Paint On The Fur”, and “Black Kids Dream”. On the Bink! produced “Black Kids Dream” he spazzes. The hook goes, “A couple ‘hunned in my wallet, Paid In Full on the screen/ I’m really living every Black Kids Dream/ Now throw your hands to the Heavens like, right now/ Here the Angels sing ( say it loud) I’m Black and I’m proud (5 times). It’s a 4:02 minute erupting volcano of emotion and swag.
At times his words are crude. He often uses swearing words that adds much more street candor to the overall experience. It feels like he really means what he says. You kinda get the feeling of this kid who was left in the house all day and drew all over the room’s walls with red crayons. On “Paint On The Fur” he tells the story of a rich “sugar mama” who buys him Lanvin and Balmain. Asaad’s previous projects including Flowers and Wednesday featured great rhyming capability but now that he’s paired with greater production, his true colors are starting to shine. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was currently being courted by major record labels.
