Out and proud stoner/white rapper Asher Roth is making strides toward regaining relevance in the music industry, no doubt hoping to outgrow his identity as the "I Love College" guy. Since then Roth has parted ways with manager Scooter Braun and Schoolboy Records, signed to Def Jam, then left Def Jam for indie label Federal Prism, under which he released his second studio album, 2014's Retrohash. Roth's latest single, "Laundry," produced by Chuck Inglish, is the rapper's first release since February, when he dropped Rawther, the long-anticipated, rock-influenced collab EP with Nottz and Travis Barker. The fun visual for "Laundry" features Michael Christmas and Larry June as they post up at a laundromat and take turns through the verses, emphasizing the fresh-to-death scent of clean laundry. Co-headliner Larry June will join the skilled lyricist for the six-stop tour. JENNI MOORE
