It was very apparent that Philadelphia underground MC Ashura, whose real name is Ashok M. Kailaith, wanted to define his music and methods on his own terms. His 2004 debut album, Logikrhymerezon, was independently released through his own company, and he produced every track himself, using live instrumentation and no samples. The dark ambience of the album equally matched the mystique surrounding the gritty yet uplifting lyricist. ~ Cyril Cordor
