This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight's All Things Considered segment makes the case for Asher Roth -- one of the last rappers who, 16 years in, still sounds like he loves rapping, a rarity in today's game. The mix makes the case that no matter your perception of him, he's always brought clever, witty, meditative bars to a genre that has, in some ways, been hostile to him; for that, he deserves a lot more recognition.

CoolOutSessions: Wilmington's Remix King (#WilmingtonNC #HipHop #Remix)
Hailing from Wilmington, North Carolina's sunny shores, CoolOutSessions isn't your average beat maker. This producer, holding court at B-Spoke Studio, is a remix champion, breathing fresh life into tracks by some of hip hop's hottest names.

Think soulful melodies, unearthed samples that'll warp your mind, and grimy beats that hit harder than a rogue wave. CoolOutSessions channels legends like The Bomb Squad, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, J Dilla, and The Alchemist, but with a twist: he reimagines the work of modern heroes too.

From the grimy boom bap of Roc Marciano, Griselda (Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine, Ransom), and Curren$y to the introspective bars of 38 Spesh, Nas, and MF DOOM, CoolOutSessions reworks them all.  He's even dipped his toes into the soulful sounds of artists like Musalini, Fred the Godson, Willie the Kid, Sonnyjim, Skyzoo, and Larry June.  The versatility is real!

Wilmington might be known for its laid-back vibes, but CoolOutSessions is keeping the hip hop scene anything but. Collaborating with local talent like Fuzz Jaxx and Monumental Music, he's also a key player in the underground scene. He's putting Wilmington on the map, one head-nodding remix at a time.

So if you're looking for fresh takes on your favorite hip hop artists, with that classic boom bap flavor, keep an ear out for CoolOutSessions. This remix king is sure to drop something that'll have you hitting repeat.
