My first taste of A$AP Rocky was during his set at Fader Fort during CMJ. I wasn’t completely blown away, but I definitely couldn’t ignore the guy. Something about him kept my attention, and I’m starting to see that my hunch was correct.
A$AP Rocky just signed a huge deal with Sony/RCA’s Polo Grounds Music for an insane $3 million. So you could say that my expectations are pretty high. Last Friday I heard his song “Bass” and although I didn’t love it at first, the song grew on me over the weekend, large in part to Clams Casino’s incredible production.
Today he dropped his debut mixtape LIVELOVEA$AP as a Halloween treat. I’ve yet to dig in, but if the songs are up to par with “Bass”, it should be a pretty good listen. Not sure if it will be a $3 million listen, but that’s not for us to decide.
