A while later, the album will convince us that it also has gorgeous choruses, like the one in Hell, a beautiful piece decorated with a female voice. The agitated feel of Long Live A$AP gives way to bravado in Goldie, and PMW, with their straightforward verses describing colorfully street life rules and views of those living there. However, the deadliest weapon in this guy’s arsenal is his ability to adjust to various surroundings created by a group of talented producers. The Harlem-born magician opens his album with a massive and dramatic thunder-stricken title track sounding like a remake of a theme to a grandiose historical action movie. With serious funds at his disposal, A$AP Rocky was able to unite original ideas and impressive arrangements into an irresistible combination to deliver most desired results. $AP, basically, reflects the most mature, the most suitable approach to a record which is aimed at a massive public and commercial success, yet having something special. Having intrigued the audience tightly, A$AP Rocky dragged time out a little, released a couple of singles and only then did he issue his first official long player called LongLiveA$AP (2013).

Internet was flooded with praiseful commentaries from hop-hop followers who waited impatiently for the release of a full-length studio album. The rookie’s career soared up high after he signed a major label contract, which soon made it possible to release a very dramatic mixtape LiveLoveA$AP(20011), short-listed for a lot of various award. He began rapping soon after he began going to school, and by the time he was twenty years old, he had turned into a respected and promising performer working under the stage name A$AP Rocky.

The future rap star’s father was imprisoned for drug trafficking, and his brother was killed not far from their home. Rakim Mayers knows it better than anybody else. If you were born in Harlem, New York’s notorious part, you face a limited choice: either you enter a criminal world, or you try yourself in hip-hop.
