“ASON brings a well defined-edge along the lines of Jay-z, Rakim and Nas,” says CD Baby founder Derek Silvers. Kevin Parker, co-founder of Christianhangsuite.com, an online magazine for the D.C. area, has said that ASON is helping fill the “long gap between Sundays” for many young Christians.
Born and raised in Washington, DC, ASON is not just a rapper but also a youth speaker who has shared stages with Mary Mary, Israel & New Breed and Ciara. However, when he does rap, he delivers his rhymes with precision, flow, and uplifting messages that ring with everyday truths. His first three independent CDs sold a cumulative 42,000 units and laid the groundwork for his rising stature on holy hip-hop’s underground.
Produced by Brandon Broadnax (best known for his work with 50 cent, Brandy, and Beyonce), The Future Is Now, boasts a deep R&B style. The first single, “Lay Them Down,” is currently gaining traction and impacting the radio airwaves.
