Kuunnellu tässä päivän Asan uusinta levyä "Loppuasukas"

is latest release was out April 2008 and is called “Loppuasukas”. The title is the logical opposite of the finnish word “alkuasukas” (meaning indigenous, native or primitive man) with a connotation of “man living the final days”. The backgrounds of the songs are more versatile in many ways, with shamanistic, folk and gypsy rhytms siding with deep hip-hop grooves. Lyrically it continues the mentally expansive trend of the previous album. Asa’s lyrics are politically and philosophically argumentative and anarchist, even postmodern. With his aphoristic and holistic stream of thought he is more poet than mc, related more to the line of finnish art rock writers (Alanko, Yrjänä, Martikainen, Liimatta) than his musical genre. He packs philosophy, history, cultural criticism, spirituality, science and grassroots subjectivity to an all-encompassing and schizoid flow of ideas held together only by his will power. Every song is a full thesis with its thousand plateaus, unsolvable word games and global analysis.

On kyllä aikamoinen runoilija nero tämä tyyppi, muistuttaa vahvasti progea. Vaikeasti ymmärrettävää ja kestää että se aukeaa. Mutta neron työtähän tämä selkeästi on
