Single Review: Asher Roth ft. Keri Hilson- 'She Don't Wanna Man'


The college loving Caucasian rapper returns with his second single 'She Don't Wanna Man' from his highly acclaimed 'Asleep In The Bread Aisle' LP.

This rock-tinged song may not instantly appeal to the die hard hip hop fans, but it's not half bad! Roth's simple delivery is complimented nicely by Keri's 'I'm too hot for you' hook which oozes mainstream success.

After his first single, Asher went a bit quiet, but this could be the perfect way to re-introduce himself. Although this is quite an odd pairing, with the right visuals to accompany the song, I can see this track doing really well.

There was quite a buzz around Roth originally, but I think for some reason his album did not live up to the buzz of his Don Cannon & DJ Drama hosted 'The Greenhouse Effect' mixtape and with the obvious comparisons to a certain Marshall Mathers, he definitely had his work cut out for him. All in all I think Asher Roth has a bright future and will definitely be a hit on the festival and live shows scene.

I'm gonna give this one a 3/5 which could possibly be bumped up to a 4/5 once I see the video! The single is released September 14th through Schoolboy/Loud/SRC Records.

Asher Roth will also be live in concert on August 25th at The Scala, London.
