New York (Top40 Charts/ Universal Motown) - Universal Motown labelmates
Asher Roth and
Kid Cudi are heading out on their first co-headlining US tour this summer. Titling the crusade The Great Hangover Tour, Roth & Cudi are teaming up with B.O.B, 88 Keys, and Pac Div for a 19-date cross-country tour kicking off July 14th in Boston.
Roth's recently released debut album Asleep In The Bread Aisle (SchoolBoy/LOUD/SRC/Universal) has brought massive attention from the likes of Rolling Stone, Spin, Playboy, Vibe, and earned him the distinction of the second white rapper ever to grace the cover of XXL (December 08), along with the number 5 spot on the Billboard Top 200 chart during its first week of release. His handful of live performances over the past year have included appearances on the Jimmy Kimmel Live summer concert stage and most recently the Jimmy Fallon show, backed by heroes The Roots. The Great Hangover Tour will be Asher's first opportunity to bring his talent to the public at large and show the world what those who have seen him already know...Asher Roth has skills and then some.
'Roth's tight, witty debut lives up to the Internet hype that has swirled around him for months.' - ROLLING STONE
"... The most promising Caucasian MC since Eminem." - XXL MAGAZINE
KID CUDI, whose unique multi-format breakout hit single, 'Day 'N' Nite' is a radio and digital smash, is completing his debut album, Man on the Moon, for late summer 2009 release on Dream On/G.O.O.D. Music/Universal Motown. The ingenious, spaced-out wit and sparse but addictive electronic arrangement of 'Day 'N' Nite' has already made the song a Top 5 iTunes download - No. 4 on the Top Songs list, and No. 3 on Rap/Hip-Hop - while debuting in Billboard's Hot Digital Tracks chart at No. 6, at the threshold of gold certification with over 450,000 digital singles sold; and on Hot Ringmasters at No. 10. Adding to the deafening online buzz, Cudi is being tipped as an artist to watch in such authoritative print outlets as Rolling Stone, Vibe, The Source, Interview, and XXL.
'Cudi is a combination of constant inspiration, struggle, reality and dreams put to melody!' - KANYE WEST
'The confident yet mellow flow and dark, skittish beats on "Day & Night" say he's going to be something special.' - SPIN
