I heard this dude a few months ago and I didn’t pay much attention then but after hearing more and more of his material I’ve come to the conclusion that “dude is nice”. His flows not the traditional in the pocket flow that most of us are used to hearing, it’s more of the Travis (Gym Class Heroes) type flow but his combination of honesty, humor and lyrical content put him in a class of his own.
In a rap game that’s full of cloned ass bling bling, look at me and what I got rappers sounding like a broken record, Asher’s brand of Alternative Rap brings a completely different flavor to game and honestly to me, it’s refreshing. But rather go on and on analyzing his style and the social implications of his image and music as it relates to the current state of hip-hop, I’ll just save that for the album review and leave you with this; Asher’s has some HOT SHIT. And we’ll be keeping our eyes and ears open for this guy in the coming months and see what happens. But for now he’s 3 Bars Of Clarity Approved, signed, sealed and delivered to you. JUST LISTEN.

I <3 B.o.B. - cause he's right, there's haters everywhere, and, is it me, or is he lightly reminiscent of Chappelle with the funny faces he makes...
SJ: So what is the name Asher Roth?
AR: That’s my birth name. Asher is my grandfather’s (my mom’s father’s) middle name. His name is Joseph Asher McConnell so that comes from him. It’s actually a Jewish name but it comes from the Scottish part of my family and not the Jewish part which is ironic. So Asher Paul Roth is my full name.
Funny, that's my grandfather's name too.
