The Appetiser makes a clear point. So Solid wasn't a failure. It was a warning. It kicked off a generation of talented youth street siblings. It proved the possibilities. Crossed the boundaries. And taught everyone on both sides a lesson. This time Asher arrives with a new warning.

Ashley Walters (a.k.a. Asher D) is originally well known for his work with the U.K. street music pioneer group So Solid Crew. But Asher has way more to receive credit for; he’s a well established actor, solo artist, production company director and proud father of three. And he’s accomplished all this with his own hard work and determination. Straight from the streets. Nothing handed to him.

Seventeen tracks deep the So Solid crew member and well-respected actor Ashley Walters aka Asher D drops bombs with this new CD. Rather than going down the route of so many other UK rappers, Asher tells street stories and drops knowledge on inner-city Britain.

At only 24 Ashley Walters aka Asher D has done a lot. He’s been acting since he was six and has notched up a number of juicy roles including: Get Rich and Die Trying, Bullet Boy and more recently Storm Breakers and as part of So Solid he had a number one album and single. This time around however, he’s doing it solo. Asher D talks exclusively to British HipHop.co.uk about life, lyrics and the future.
