Don Cannon and DJ Drama Present Asher Roth - The Greenhouse Effect Mixtape

Asher Roth The Greenhouse Effect Mixtape Cover

Yes, this kid looks like he works at your local Banana Republic but don't let his looks fool you. The kid can flow! I first heard about Asher Roth a few months ago on a few other Hip Hop blogs and I've been paying close attention to him ever since. He went from being just some white dude freestyling on camera at a frat party to being signed to Don Cannon and DJ Drama's label and hanging out with Akon:


Although you can obviously make the Eminem comparisons in both sound/voice and style, I still think he has his own vibe and swagger that makes him unique. Plus, Eminem has been out of the game for a few years and has been fairly disappointing on his last few albums, so maybe Asher Roth can fill the void for Hip Hop fans that obviously liked Em's older style and range of topics. Considering there are very few people being original in Hip Hop these days, I think he is a breath of fresh air and I think this kid is about to blow up. Just do me a favor and DOWNLOAD his mixtape ASAP!!! You won't be disappointed. Highlights include "Cannon", "Cartoon Chick" and Stop Waiting on the World To Change (John Mayer Remix). Here's a few more video clips to whet your appetite:
