Asleep in the Bread Aisle by Asher Roth

Asleep in the Bread Aisle, the debut album from Morrisville, Pennsylvania rapper Asher Roth, dropped on April 20, 2009, through SRC, Scooter Braun's Schoolboy Records and Universal Motown, and it's a slacker's party record through and through. Oren Yoel handled most of the beats, Nottz chipped in, and the guest list runs from CeeLo Green, Busta Rhymes and Keri Hilson to Jazze Pha, Chester French and New Kingdom.

"I Love College" is the calling card, a keg-stand anthem that pointed the way toward what later got called frat rap, and "Lark on My Go-Kart", "Be by Myself" and "She Don't Wanna Man" followed it out as singles. The critics split, with some hearing Yoel's production and Roth's laid-back party rhymes pulling in different directions, but it still debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. It turned out to be his only major-label album, after creative differences with Braun.
