Following his stint on SRC Records, Asher Roth has signed to Def Jam with plans to release the follow-up to 2009’s Asleep in the Bread Aisle.
According to Def Jam executive Shawn Costner, Roth has plans to drop his second full-length, Is This Too Orange, in the first quarter of 2012.
Additionally, the “I Love College” rapper will release his new mixtape Pabst & Jazz on December 21st. Check the news below (via Elliott Wilson).
(November 18)
UPDATE: SRC Records CEO/founder Steve Rifkind has tweeted that Asher Roth will remain under his label umbrella. Asher’s sophomore release will be a joint venture between Def Jam and the Loud Records imprint Rifkind founded in the early 1990s. Loud was home to the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, Alkaholiks and Pete Rock, among others.

noooo! why sign to the sinking ship?!
Ya’ll realize it says “12/21” right? 12 = December, 11 = November..
alright, time to get this cat movin’, he’s been in the dark for awhile
can people stop referring to him as the “i love college” rapper. dude has a lot of good material out there
Can’t believe they signed the I love college one hit wonder.
I’m guessing “I Love College” is the only Asher Roth song you’ve heard
lol really? Listen to his other tracks and try this again.
you’re dumb, his mixtapes go hard as hell. kid spits heat
Wow!! Asher has black fans, he’s doing it real big now!
Roth deserves this. way too underrated. pumped
its december not november. my god hhdx. yall are fucking retarded
steve horowitz reminds me of the nephew from casino who deniro fired because he was anincompetent idiot. he didnt give a fuck who his uncle was.
steve’s uncle needs to called asap yall taking alot of hits this year and its not fair on the rest of you. say no to nepotism hhdx.
lol right after mac miller just did big numbers and snagged that #1 spot they announce this.
this white niggas are selling like crazy
asher is a far better mc than mac
hahaha yea but the only difference between asher and mac is that asher speaks straight from the heart and your always ganna out sell people if u can make a hit that ever one can relate to ….. so mac just makes lots of releases and has a growing fan base. my boy ash will out sell him first week!
Pabst and Jazz! I hope it comes out November . I can’t believe he signed to Def Jam though, should have went to Rhymesayers and had creative control for his album. Now Def Jam will demand some radio pop garbage, don’t ruin his album Def Jam.
YOU DO REALIZE IT’S NOVEMBER NOW, RIGHT?
“now def jam will demand some radio pop garbage”
idiot
Def Jam needs to sign KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane, slick rick, rakim.. nu-school frat rap needs to give props to the pioneers..
CO-SIGN!
Legit, atleast he got on a classic label unlike busta rhymes….
I agree. Def Jam has better rep than young money. Young Money is just a disaster waiting to happen.
Asher Roth is dope. I agree with what mac said about where he went wrong. He isn’t on that college frat boy party all the time shit he is on some change the world shit. But his best known song isnt a good representation of him so people make assumptions. He is lyrically better then mac listen too Rick Smits. He has arguably been the least successful xxl freshmen of 09.
Charles Hamilton is definitely the least successful xxl freshmen 09 haha
lol Charles Hamilton. poor kid failed..
the sad part is I forgot about charles…
I bet this years xxl freshmen list is gonna include Tyler the Creator, Asap Rocky, Kreayshawn (although she hasn’t been keeping that white girl mobb buzz alive since Gucci Gucci dropped), Casey Veggies, Dom Kennedy, random rapper I haven’t heard about. Who on this site knows about a rapper named Death Grips?, At first I thought his music was wack but if you look at the lyrics hes saying he goes hard as fuck. Plus he is probably one of the most original artist of this decade.
Death Grips is tight, they’re a group and one of the guys(Zach Hill) is from a rock band call Hella. They’re pretty dope too.
Ash is aight, but its good to see Steve rifkind back with loud records.
Man its sad to see that def jam (a label that sold out a long time ago)now owns loud records. Loud records used to own shit so much so wu tang clan,mobb deep,mop where all over MTV then came the new millennium…………
