Here is a track by track on Asher Roth’s Asleep in the Bread:

“It was very important to showcase the fact that over the last 23 years of my life that I have not just listened to hip-hop,” Roth explained. “People need to understand that people have iPod Shuffles nowadays. When you go through people’s iPods, it’s not just hip-hop, it’s not just jazz, it’s not just rock — there are all types of music.”

The bulk of the album was produced by Oren Yoel, who was also focused on that genre-jumping philosophy. And while the phrase “there’s something for everybody on this album” has become a cliché at this point, he said the best part about the listening sessions was the fact that everyone had a different favorite song.

“Lark On My Go-Kart”
Asher recently released an animated video for this song, which is the album’s intro. Most people thought Roth was a novelty act and questioned whether he could really rap after “I Love College,” but “Lark” changed things.

“With Lark coming out, it was a cornucopia of just vivid lyrics … different images, no real concept, nothing really to draw from except for these references from my life,” he explained. “People were like, ‘I don’t even know what to expect anymore,’ and I think that’s the beauty of that record.”

“Blunt Cruisin’ “
Roth’s album will be released on 4/20 — a date he said is appropriate for anyone who knows him — and the song’s title speaks for itself. “You drive around a familiar area, listening to your favorite CD and enjoy the nice weather. It just gets things in the right mood,” he said. “Every song is very visual. I don’t want to waste my listeners’ time.”

“I Love College”
Roth was surprised that this was the record that basically launched his career. “I wrote that song for me, because I’m sitting on the couch like, ‘I love college. I miss college. I want to go to college for the rest of my life.’ I wrote that song for me. The next thing you know, you had a bunch of people who were like, ‘I feel that same exact way.’ ”

I Love College by Asher Roth

I Love College – Asher Roth

Although people will probably associate his name with “I Love College” for a while, he insists he’s no one-hit wonder. “People need to trust me when I say this — there’s going to be a lot more benchmarks along that way.”

“Be By Myself”
Slated to be the second single off the album, this song features Cee-Lo Green of Gnarls Barkley and Goodie Mobb fame.

“We had a good problem to have in the sense of, ‘Which way do we go next?’ ” Roth said of choosing the follow-up to “I Love College.” “That’s what’s cool about the album.”

“Lion’s Roar”
This track features Busta Rhymes, as well as Oren Yoel’s band, New Kingdom. Roth is a Leo, hence the title of this song, and on this cut he wanted to let the beat do its thing, instead of trying to outshine it. “Sometimes the best way to handle a record is sort of getting out of the way.”

“As I Em”
Whether it’s because they are both white or because they do sound alike, Roth has been compared to Eminem — a lot — and he addresses the comparisons on this song, which features D.A. Wallach of Chester French.

I have said before, that even though Asher isn’t exactly my brand of vodkathat I have no doubt Asher Roth will be huge, and everything seems to be falling in place for the kid:

XXL Freshman

MTV Spring Break performance (key)

Remix with Jim Jones (street cred)

Album dropping 420

Eminem’s Relapse Album dropping May 15, 2009 to continue the buzz, cause ill fated comparisons, etc. (kind of like opening up a nightclub next to a fly successful restaurant type effect).

Some luck, some genius…that is all it takes.

Side note:

One of my associates hung out with Asher last week (I was too busy doing bank wires). Said he was a cool kat.
