Manhattan’s own ANTHM lets loose some harsh thoughts over the instrumental twang of Eminem’s “Role Model.” The reference-heavy track finds ANTHM snarling the names of upper-echelon acts like Lil Wayne, The Throne, and Rick Ross as well as industry heads Paul Rosenberg and Rap Radar’s Eliot Wilson. In keeping with a growing theme, amidst a sea of apparent shots, ANTHM tosses some high praise Kendrick Lamar’s way. Other than that, it’s all-out assault, riffing on the assertion that ANTHM is “not a Freshman, nigga check my grades in this class. / Battle me? Better off facing Jason Mraz.” If you didn’t know, ANTHM and Los Angeles’ Blu a.k.a. GodLeeBarnes just released a far chiller tape, Handful of Dust, which deserves a spin and a purchase after you listen to ANTHM get grimy below.
