White-hot (hot-white?) rhythmic-rhymer of words Asher Roth released his album this week. I got Tom Breihan (Pitchfork), Touré (The Daily Beast), and Byron Crawford (XXL) to cut through the obligatory talking points.

Waddup, homedogs and homebidges. We're strapping in for another gritty-urban afternoon with your host with the most, T.A.N. .This weekend: The Roots, Asher Roth discourse, and poignant photos from Spanish Harlem. Maybe more!
