The next “next hip-hop star,” born and raised in Harlem, inspired to rap by his brothers murder, influenced by the Harlem based Diplomats (the likes of Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, and Cam’ron), ASAP (or A$AP) Rocky just signed a $3 million Sony record deal.

He joined the Always Strive and Prosper crew in 2007 and took on the name Rocky. Check him out at the Fillmore at Irving Plaza NYC on February 1 if you dig it. Just released his LiveLoveA$AP mixtape.

It’s the relaxing, trance-setting beats that keep your body bobbing. This song features a guy with the name of Spaceghost Purrpa.

Love this song. Its beat is something like, “one, two, uh, buh, buh, bump *pause* uh.” Try it out.

The genre on this album is TrillWave! What does that even mean!? Anyways, bonus track? Ya! I am absolutely still listening to this song at least 6 times a week…when I shower. Still recommended to listen naked.
