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.
