More than two years after scoring an offbeat hit with the stoner track "Because I Got High," hip-hop artist Afroman is readying the release of a new two-disc set. Due April 20, "Afroholic: The Even Better Times," will be issued on the artist's own Hungry Hustler Records label, distributed by Redeye.
"Afroholic" taps into familiar territory for the blunted rhymesmith, boasting more than 30 songs, including "Let's Get High Tonight" and "Just My Paranoia."
"I'm talking about stuff I know, like getting drunk, getting high, chasing women, selling dope and even my feelings for God," Afroman says. "There's a depth to this recording that hopefully will let listeners know I'm not just some guy who won the drunk karaoke lottery with 'Because I Got High' and got a record deal."
"Because I Got High" reached No. 13 on Billboard's Hot 100, No. 17 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart and No. 19 on the Hot Rap Tracks tally. The single's 2001 parent album, "The Good Times" (Universal), reached No. 10 on The Billboard 200.
