I Love College

SRC/Island

WE SAY

Currently riding high on the iTunes Music Store Top 10 in the US, Pennsylvania-born rapper Asher Roth's I Love College has 'spring breakout hit' written all over it. Originally based around a sample from Weezer track Say It Ain't So, I Love College is the first single from simultaneously-released album Asleep in the Bread Aisle. The album will feature collaborations with Cee-Lo, Ludacris and Chester French. SXSW shows next week should further cement his status as the rising star of crossover hip hop this year.
