A$AP

ASAP Rocky is a new artist with a bright future. Without even having a single album out he and his crew; ASAP Mob have been gaining a lot of attention.

Rocky has two mixtapes out. One is “Deep Purple”, a fan created tape of some songs he had released on YouTube. It is officially recognized on the ASAP Mob website. The mixtape contains the song that arguably gave him his fame; Purple Swag. There are six other songs on it, one with an irritating Lil Wayne sample.
His second mixtape”LiveLoveASAP” has a longer tracklist, with a total of 16 songs. In this mixtape Rocky tells us about his history and his life before rap. The production on this album has more layers than Deep Purple. The project feels more rich and the music more engulfing. Songs like “Pe$o” feel very cinematic, while most of the songs feel more dark and eerie.

Rocky signed with Polo Grounds/RCA for $1.7 million for himself and $1.3 million for his imprint ASAP Worldwide.

ASAP Mob consists of members ASAP Yams, ASAP Bari, ASAP Ferg, ASAP Ty Beats, ASAP Nast, ASAP Twelvy, ASAP Ant, and ASAP Rocky. They add more variety to the music. Though they can be found on Rocky’s solo music, they have much larger parts on the ASAP Mob mixtape, “Lords Never Worry”. Listening to “Lords Never Worry” makes you feel like you’re watching a scary movie. Not many artists or rap groups have as much originality as these guys do and as long as they stick together and keep building on their originality they can continue to successfully make music.

The Trees Man

Plants are awesome. If you don't agree with that then you're wrong. Being trapped on the internet all day can be entertaining but I don't think enough people have experienced nature enough to respect and enjoy it.

Walking through the woods is an adventure every time. You just have to accept that your getting lost. When you don't know where you are and you're surrounded by trees, nature and some friends you will have a good time.


The obstacles are what make the journey, crossing rivers over logs, running down hills and try climbing some trees.

You have to make things happen. Sitting at home telling people to hit you up on Facebook because your bored probably won't actually make your day, you have to just do what you want to do.

What I've noticed in most people is that their main focus in life is simply to make money. That's not such a bad goal but most of the time it gets in the way of what in my opinion is the most important aspect of life; happiness.


When I realized this you could say I made it a resolution for myself to do whatever it is that will make me enjoy my life, whether that is taking a walk in the woods, going and getting ice cream or blaring music.

I don't mean that people should ignore distressing tasks like doing homework or laundry just because they don't like them, grades should also stay a priority. Just remember to enjoy life!
