Asher Roth first got radio play with his debut single, "I Love College", which SOMEHOW made its way to number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the song, I actually really like the beat. I just wonder how a song whose entire second-half composes of frat-boy chanting could possibly hit the Top 40.
I used to work at a retail store, where I heard "G.R.I.N.D. (Get Ready It's A New Day)", the debut single from his upcoming album, for the first time. Since we had a set of CDs that we would play over and over again, it didn't take too long until I knew all of the lyrics.
Those of you who don't like rap, keep an open mind. There's great music in every genre, and this is great music.
"G.R.I.N.D." reminds me of something I would hear in the opening scene of a movie. It's really "anthem-like", and just really makes you feel good when you listen to it.
Oh, and if you didn't know, Asher Roth is a WHITE rapper. Don't you dare compare him to Eminem, though.
I know he looks like Lois Griffin, but he's actually pretty good, huh?
