THE HANGEROVER TOUR, KID KUD DI AND RECENT NY SHOW
When asked about a New York City show on july 15, Roth told XXL Mag that he has to go back to the tapes. “We tape everything,” he told XXL. "New York is notoriously a tough crowd so you gotta bring it. You got to come with it and I think overall the show went well.”

When it comes to the tour. And the NY show in particullar. Kid Cudi, who has yet to drop a full-fledged album— headlined the NYC stop instead of Asher. He told XXL “Cudi and I just kind of sat down like, ‘Oh, what days do you want to rock and which cities are important to me,’” According to Asher, that how they decide who headlines which shows. “So it’s pretty easy. I’ll headline Philadelphia". Joining the Great Hangover Tour is fellow XXL Freshmen alumni B.o.B. The young upstarts will be traveling the country until August.

THE FOLLOW UP TO DEBUT
Asher told XXL that he is currently working on his sophomore album. And it seems like he is trying to deliver an old school vibe for his next LP. “You know I’m really interested in Pete Rock and [DJ] Premier and that New York sound, and that ’90s sound. I really wanna get in on that.” reported by XXL Mag.
