Asher Roth + Jonathan Batiste

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. He's back now, signed to Def Jam and fancying himself something of the Jeff Lebowski of hip-hop. Tonight, he's hawking a new mixtape titled Pabst & Jazz.
