Asher Roth Debut Album Asleep in the Bread Aisle
When up and coming hip-hop artist Asher Roth’s debut album Asleep in the Bread Aisle was released, only two days ago on 4/20, Asher chose to give back to his alma mater – the campus that inspired his hit single “I Love College” – with a performance at West Chester University in Roth’s hometown of Morrisville, Pennsylvania.
But Asher isn’t letting his recent success go to his head just yet, he explained how easy it is to look like a superstar when one goes back home – but true success is when one gets the star treatment somewhere else!
"It's a little crazy, man. It just goes to show you it's working. This music is bringing people together. West Chester, I'm kinda cheating a little bit, because that's home. So it isn't until I walk the streets of British Columbia and people are outside waiting for me. Then, I know, 'OK, this is really working."
Roth is currently touring to promote Asleep in the Bread Aisle, but he most definitely felt good about kicking things off right back at home!
In an interview with MTV, Roth let loose and explained how it feels to come home right when he is starting to get noticed:
"You know that you can just go up there and totally be yourself and the crowd's going to be there with you. Being here in PA — and this is just another one of those state schools — where we used to just come and hang out and just, on numerous occasions, kind of walk these streets, so then we pull up [now] and it says, 'Asher Roth: sold out.' It's like I'm starting a new life, man."
Though Roth understands that he is no super celebrity just yet, he must realize that he has been turning some heads. Nonetheless he insists that he is the same guy on and off stage, exclaiming “It's not like David Bowie, where he goes home and he's whoever and when he's out onstage he's got his David Bowie [showmanship] going on.”
