Asher Roth + Jesse Marco

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (okay, in 2009), Asher Roth was poised to be rap's Great White Hope, flowing like he was Eminem by way of a frat house at a midtier state school. He failed to follow up on his early successes and fell off the map, but he's back now, gearing up for a forthcoming Def Jam LP. Sharing the bill is buzzy beatsmith-DJ Jesse Marco.
