Asher Roth – Asleep in the Bread Aisle

Name: Asher Roth
Album: Asleep in the Bread Aisle
Style: Hip Hop & Soul

A new artist which is constantly referred to as the next Eminem has been discovered through Myspace. He was born and raised in Pennsylvania then finally moved to Atlanta to pursue a music career after selling over 250 copies of his first cd made in school in under 2 days.  He has a full studio album released now and with that and his XXL Magazine cover appereance, and hopefully my review, you will find him quite interesting!
More Info

I started this album like all others, put it in my car and drive for weeks just playing that album without skipping. Ok I lied, once you read the individual song breakdowns then you will see that I did do some skipping, but really, not much at all! Now im sorry but I will start by saying, yes, kinda like Eminem in his delivery sometimes as well as overall sound often, but thats where the similarities stop. His music feels like there is alot more soul put into it and the topics he talks about is much more compared to an average life of school, partying, women and just having bad days every now and then. The cursing is at a minimum, atleast if you are still trying to compare him to Eminem. The music displays alot of great popping drum sounds as well as dirty and rhodes style organs with tons of sampling and soul singing. He can rap at fast speeds as well as chill you out with slower poem style lyrics on his music as well as points where they just mubble and get you doing it along. Yes, im serious, just mumbling like you think you know the lyrics but you dont and want to atleast get the melody right. I will live the brief overall album review short and let you check out individual songs for yourself, tell me what you think in the comments of this post. But this album is a great one, maybe not a classic, but atleast something that you can pop in and go through most of the album without skipping songs. I cant give any albums a 5 star rating just yet so I will go with a 3!
PS:  I find it very cool that this album was released on April 20th, 2009 (4/20!!!)

Stars: 4/5
