This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, after running down new releases, I talk a bit about Joe Biden's team probably putting the nail in the coffin of his re-election chances -- love him, hate him, or feel indifferent towards him, the decision to skip the cognitive test is a masterclass in fucking up. Chef's kiss!

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 257 (March 15, 2024)

First single off my upcoming album Porcelain Porches. Enjoy!

Substance (prod. by Alan McKee)

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. 

All sounds by Asher Roth unless listed otherwise.

Also doing slowed + reverb music now lol

To those of you looking for the slowed + reverb version of "Benji the Dog" by Mac Miller (RIP), it was copyright claimed after 15,000 plays. If you're desperate for the mp3, dm me here and we can work something out.
