Asher Roth
About This Incoming! Artist
While so many rappers are delivering tired rhymes to back up their fake back stories, Asher Roth has quickly emerged as the future: a hip-hop anomaly grounded enough to take pride in his suburban roots but confident and talented enough to have already earned the respect of rap royalty such as 50 Cent, Ludacris, Akon, and Andre 3000.
With his debut album,
Asleep in the Bread Aisle, slated for release on April 20th, Roth blows away any false cries of gimmickry or novelty. His first single, "I Love College" is already one of the fastest growing songs in America, breaking into the top ten on iTunes within just 5 weeks of its release.
With Roth, hip-hop has an emcee that balances the fun and simple with the serious and complex. An emcee who freestyles better than most emcees' write. And most importantly, an emcee with the knowledge and excitement to connect to any hip-hop lover and to realize true hip hop is being true to one's self. The "Roth Boys" in the building tonight.
