CLARKVILLE @ 43rd & Baltimore Ave in West Philly

It’s been a while since we did an interview over here.

As many good things go, the opportunity presented itself organically and after some back and forth on IG, we decided to find a day in April to have a chat.

I was fortunate to get the green light from Clarkville @ 43rd and Baltimore. The pizza and beer are second to none. HIGHLY RECOMMEND paying a visit to Clarkville in West Philly.

Anybody who knew me in high school and college knew I was a huge fan of Asher’s. There’s no question I put a lot of friends onto his music. As a teenage hip-hop head (who also loved writing raps), seeing him blow up and develop a fanbase right out of the Philly burbs while rapping about anything and everything was pretty cool

Downright inspiring I’d say.

Asher was one of a handful of people who’s success encouraged me to pursue exactly what I wanted in this life.

So without further adue, I present to you…

SHOOTIN’ w/ Asher Roth

At the time of the interview, Asher was set to embark on a mini City Winery Tour throughout the U.S.

I was able to attend the Philly show with a couple friends and it did not disappoint. He performed a verse or two from some of the standouts on each one of his albums, while telling the story behind them. Totally unique format, unprecedented delivery, perfectly on par with one of hip-hop’s gems, Asher Roth.
