Turn the World to Ash (2017) is the second project from Ash Wednesday, an
alternative rap group working in Chicago. Turn the World to Ash sounds like
vibrant horns, smacked 808s, and moments for airy sing-along. Chicago
artists ShowYouSuck, MFnMelo, and Shadow Master MC are featured.
Ash Wednesday aka Ashley Heyer grew up in Ankeny, IA – just outside the
state's capitol Des Moines. They attended college in Evanston, IL, then
moved to Chicago in 2010, where they began making music in their studio
apartment.
