Asher Roth Free Ringtones

Heavily hyped upon his arrival to the mainstream rap scene in 2008, Asher Roth is a college-educated rapper who made headlines as the first white rapper to be featured on a DJ Drama mixtape. Born in Morrisville, PA, he began rapping as a teenager and developed a fan base while attending college, thanks largely to social-networking websites such as MySpace and Facebook. His early releases include the 2006 mixtape album Believe the Hype. Rap industry businessmen Scooter Braun and Steve Rifkind took notice of his talent and signed him to a major-label recording contract with SRC/Universal, and in 2008, Roth burst onto the mainstream rap scene with The Greenhouse Effect Mixtape.

In late 2008 he had an Internet hit when a bootleg of his single "I Love College" appeared. The original cut featured a sample of Weezer's "Say It Ain't So" but when the band refused to license it, the track was re-recorded.
