“What do you have to lose,” has been Donald Trump’s struggle plea for the Black vote on multiple occasions. Only everything is the answer, and that’s the theme that’s been flipped into a song by The Philosopher’s Stone; Gabriel “Asheru” Benn, Wayna and DJ Roddy Rod.
“While You Were Sleeping” exists purely to showcase quality indie and underground Hip-Hop/Rap releases that are regularly overlooked, under promoted or downright ignored by most supposed “Rap” or “Hip-Hop” sites.
Although Asheru may not be be a household name for some, fans of the popular The Boondocks television series certainly know his voice from the show’s theme song. A longtime veteran of Washington D.C.‘s “DMV” Hip-Hop scene, the rapper, activist and educator makes a return with his latest project, Sleepless In Soweto.
