    Less of a happy medium and more of a hard reset, RetroHash is the beginning of what may shape up to be the rebirth of Roth’s career.

    RetroHash is a confused jumble of ideas that has its heart in the right place.

    Album tout simplement INCROYABLE. La renaissance de la soul-Rétro et du Vintage Rap combiné à des phases de Lounge. Que dire de plus ? CetAlbum tout simplement INCROYABLE. La renaissance de la soul-Rétro et du Vintage Rap combiné à des phases de Lounge. Que dire de plus ? Cet album est tout ce que j'attendais. Merci Asher, toi qui me prouve ici qu'un artiste de Hip-Hop n'est pas condamné à l'oubli. Tu viens de te faire une place VIP dans ma playlist. Les Featuring sont soigneusement choisis et ne nous laissent pas nous endormir sur des rythmes qui auront tendance à se répéter. Tout est correct, même si je n'apprécie pas quelques musiques par-ci par là, le projet tient la route ! Rien à y redire. Bravo !… Full Review »

I had heard bits and pieces of his discography prior and never really thought he was anything special. However, here, he really won me over. RetroHash will undoubtedly go down as one of the most creative rap albums to come out in 2014, as he really tried new things out that you do not hear frequently in rap and did it very successfully. The album has a very laid back feel to it and is certainly something I can see myself playing on repeat for a while now, as many of the tracks are teeming with replay value. Standouts for me would undoubtedly be “Pot of Gold” and “Pull It”. In terms of my least favorite track, if I had to pick one, I would say “Dude”, but even then, I still liked that track a good bit. The album is incredibly short, coming in at just 10 tracks, but that succinctness is a definite plus as there is no real filler here and all 10 tracks truly bring something different to the table. I was not expecting to like this one that much, but this one really wound up surprising me. Very impressed.… Full Review »
