Calling Ash the Author a "rapper" feels like a mere euphemism, especially since he comes across as a poet and a storyteller throughout his tracks.

Ash is somewhat of a musical chameleon who climbs comfortably between the branches of hip hop, soul, and r&b. In his latest release, "I'm Not Crazy" he opens up in not only a vulnerable manner but also in a way that's relatable about the difficulties of following your own path despite the status quo. He effortlessly glides through a soulful instrumental laced with smooth keys and beefy drums, and the presence of the high-pitched vocal sample definitely gives the track a catchy touch.
