My New Discovery: Asher Roth

So, I know I'm late to this boat, but I have just discovered Asher Roth, a new rapper who is set to release his debut album, Asleep in the Bread Aisle. He is a white, Jewish rapper from Pennsylvania, but don't let that color your opinions of him. Also, let's try to avoid Eminem comparisons. He made waves last summer when he released his Gangsta Grillz mixtape with DJ Drama and Cannon, The Greenhouse Effect, which consists of Roth rapping over other beats. More recently, his debut single, "I Love College", has become very popular. It is already in the top ten Hip-Hop/Rap songs on iTunes. The single is fun, funny, and clever. It's kind of like chill rap. If that's not your cup of tea, still check it out, but also check out his mixtape because that's where he really demonstrates his flow and lyricism. He was also named one of XXL magazine's top freshman of 2009.
