Playlist: Asaad a.k.a. Saudi Money (42 Songs)

In a short period of time, North Philadelphia wordsmith Asaad a.k.a. Saudi Money, has gardened a large fan following and churned out eight full-lengh albums (2009 debut Flowers, 2012’s New Black History Month, 2012 ‘s White, 2012 ‘s Troy, 2013’s Cold Blue, 2013’s New Black History Month 2, Dirty Middle Class, 2014’s Flowers 2). In 2014, Asaad released his retail mixtape, Flowers 2, with guest cameos from Ab-Soul ("Alejandro Jodorowsky Flow") and King Louie ("Block Boy 2.0"). The album is available for purchase on his Bandcamp artist page. In early 2015, Asaad reemerged after a brief hiatus and unfettered several new songs (Fuck 3 Wishes, Celebrate Saudi, Greenhouse, Shooters (Phone Off), Diamonds Checks & Plugs, Blue Note Entendre). Controversary In early 2013, the Former Re-up Gang member called out former friend and collaborator Pusha T during a March concert. Inside Philadelphia’s Union Transfer Asaad publicly dissed Pusha T in front of a crowd of hundreds before performing his short set. Without hesitation, he shouted “Fuck Pusha T and anybody that love him! Fuck that n*gga. We in my city.” Apparently Pusha T has stolen material from Asaad. His annoyance seems to have derived from Pusha T recording a song called “New God Flow” with Kanye West then releasing it as a single briefly after Asaad put out a song titled “God Flow”.
