My Take

Asher Roth is an artist I find easy to root for. The Morrisville, Pennsylvania native turned his actual college life into 2009's I Love College, a Billboard number twelve hit that essentially named the frat-rap moment. It would be easy to dismiss that as a novelty, but capturing a generational mood in a single song is harder than it looks. What I respect is that beneath the party-anthem surface there is a writer telling his own honest, life-sized story rather than chasing someone else's swagger. That he kept making music long after the hype cooled tells me the integrity was real.

Overview

Asher Paul Roth (born August 11, 1985) is an American rapper from Morrisville, Pennsylvania. He is best known for his 2009 debut single "I Love College," which peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and foresaw the birth of frat rap, a college-oriented subgenre of hip hop.
