D.C. rapper Yung Gleesh, aka Asa Asuncion, turned himself in to authorities Tuesday after being charged with sexual assault in Austin, Texas.

Asuncion was sought on charges stemming from time he spent in Austin while playing the South by Southwest festival. An arrest affidavit says Asuncion allegedly assaulted an intoxicated woman after she passed out at a house where Asuncion had been staying during the festival.

A spokesperson for Austin police says the rapper turned himself in at the Travis County Jail Tuesday and was arrested. Austin’s KXAN-TV reports he posted bond and is no longer in custody.

Her debut album, Native State, comes as a result of her return back to her hometown, following a stint in New York studying photography. The deeply personal songs on the record were inspired by a period of introspection and self-reflection.

While she was on a tour stop in Southern California, Bandwidth was lucky enough to witness her resonant dark folk as she performed a couple of songs for us on a dusty hilltop in Los Angeles.

During a much warmer time in the District, Dana and her six-piece band treated us to a beautiful set of orchestral folk-pop tunes that sounded so serene performed on a breezy, sun-soaked afternoon.

Her latest album, Leelanau, is available now from Antenna Farm Records.
