Asher Roth and Boys Like Girls | Irving Plaza
It's the classic Cinderella spin—rapper freestyles some bars for hip-hop kingmaker Jay-Z. Heads bob. Contract signed on the spot. But Asher Roth's case is a little different: the rapper is a skinny white kid from the Philly burbs who spit 150 bars for Jigga, verses that would later land on his debut mixtape "The Greenhouse Effect." Roth's pinched-nose vocals can't help reminding you of a certain predecessor, but his tracks are more about popping collars than caps. Headliners Boys Like Girls are a pop-punk lovin act out of Boston. We believe both boys and girl are into this hot band! With Cash Cash and Runner Runner. MORE INFO
