Asher Roth, in appearance, is your average college kid. However, with his appearance comes an abundance of skill as a lyricist. He is part of what I see as a reversion of hip-hop back to being fun and containing purely GOOD lyrics, not stupid catch phrases with a simple beat. He goes right along with KiD CuDi, Drake, Charles Hamilton, and The Cool Kids, but, he has his own style, of course; as do all the other artists I just named. He keeps his rhymes very real and personal and just speaks on his life; not trying to be a gangsta or a balla or anything like that. He just does his thing. If you listen to his songs or freestyles, you'll see what I mean. He put out a mixtape called "The Greenhouse Effect" last year, but his debut album, "Asleep in the Bread Aisle" is set to release this April. I'm looking forward to it.
