College Attended: West Chester University

Studied: Elementary Education

Pennsylvania-born rapper Asher Roth attended West Chester University, majoring in elementary education. It wasn't until his sophomore year when the Def Jam signee saw his music gain traction on the internet. A week after speaking with Scooter Braun (then SoSoDef's VP of Marketing, now Justin Bieber's manager), Roth dropped out of college and headed to Atlanta in pursuit of his rap career. Although he hopes to move forward from his "frat rap" beginnings, the sub-genre has taken hold and other MCs such as Mac Miller admit to having learned necessary lessons from Roth. Guess that major in education came in handy after all.
