Asher Roth, Framed
Asher's story isn't the hip-hop norm. He began rhyming in high school and eventually sold tapes of his tracks around Morrisville, PA, where he grew up. Going on to attend West Chester University, he started posting his raps on MySpace. It all led to a manager, a record contract, and incipient stardom.
"Roth's lyrics center around what has been called 'middle-class minutiae,'" says the Internet. That, as well as the smoke and the drink...which could also be classified as middle-class minutiae, we guess. In any case, it's all good fun, and pretty damn catchy. So please enjoy, and tell us what you think!
