RH Inspired By: Asher Roth
This past summer I had a great opportunity to interview suburbanite sensation, Asher Roth. At the time, he was the buzz on MySpace, highlighting himself as the realest thing from the ‘burbs through viral videos and playful lyrics. This career through MySpace eventually paid off, landing him in the hands of industry executive Scooter Braun. With the help of Scooter and a rhyme or two, Asher catapulted into the limelight when signing to SRC records and penning The Greenhouse Effect mixtape alongside Gangsta Grillz’ very own DJ Drama and Don Cannon. Now, since numerous co-signs from music heavyweights such as Akon and Cee-Lo, along with buzz from all corners of the internet, Asher Roth is slowly becoming the next budding star. His first single “I Love College” blasted into popular music by breaking into the iTunes Top 10 Songs list, and the awkwardly titled Asleep In the Bread Aisle is heading to stores on the national day of the sticky icky, April 20th. In the heat of this national and worldwide buzz, RubyHornet sat down with the flip-flop wearing and flip cup playing emcee to find out what the inspiration was behind “I Love College", as well as a yet to be debuted track, "His Dream". Check it out below.

The RubyHornet crew, and a lot of others in Chicago's Hip Hop inner circle descended on CRC for a Jadakiss listening session Monday night. Pugs Atomz, Mic Terror, Que Billah, even Kid Cudi Chingy, were all in the house to listen to new tunes and get Kiss' explanation of the songs. The night started out well, there was good music, good people, and hey, AB even brought his own brown paper bag...There was one problem though, I think they forgot to tell Jadakiss about the event, as he came in 15 minutes before it ended and didn't really do much. Honestly, the highlight of the night was getting to hear Pac Div's "Mayor" so many times. Regardless, Virgil Solis was on camera duty and snapped some very dope pics that you can check out below.
