Asher Paul Roth


Look out for this kid. 22 year old Morrisville, PA native Asher Paul Roth got my attention and he's nobody you wanna sleep on. He was featured in XXL's December issue alongside, Charles Hamilton, B.O.B., Kid Cudi, Wale and a few other "Freshman" on rise in the hip hop community. I like Asher because he's the silly white kid who doesn't take himself too serious. I almost feel like I know him...he reminds me of someone I may have went to school with. He's lyrically skilled too, he sounds a little like Eminem but his flow is different. He's a kid from the suburbs and Eminem is from 8 mile...he talks about what he knows and its completely different than anything Em ever spoke about. He has a mixtape with DJ Drama and Don Cannon called The Greenhouse Effect Vol. 1. (Download it at http://www.thedailykush.com/). So yeah...like I said...look out for this guy and check out his mixtape AND another song by him called "I Love College" (it didn't make it on the mixtape) it's the undergraduate anthem of the year...a real feel good song...so for the last time...AsherRoth AsherRoth AsherRoth

Happy New Year 2009!

2008 was a year of new beginnings, bittersweet endings and a proper amount of random moments in between. I wanted to do a 'year in review' post but I'm not focused enough to do that right now. So the most I can do is drop some pearls of advice: Leave the drama behind you, get your swaggers right, learn to pinch pennies to survive this recession and stay close to the ones you love.

Best wishes for 2009!
