VIDEOS & VISUALS: Asher Roth
WHAT: Asher Roth has a new video for his song “Gotta Get Up” and it’s a pretty funny clip. The video chronicles a scruffy Asher Roth through Hollywood as he enjoys the West Coast lifestyle. He guzzles tons of beer, hits a bowling alley, roams aimlessly through his neighborhood and lays on the beach with a lovely lady. Basically, the video is classic Asher.
