Ason
Ason brings a well-defined edge, a sharpened delivery over plump, cultivated beats in a well-proportioned package along the lines of Jay-Z, Rakim, and Nas. Bringing his Christian background into his music's message, there's so much more to this game than the hype. Check out this brother. (5 Stars!)
-Derek Sivers, CD BABY (Founder)
