About

Label: ASAP

Manager: ASAP

Bio: Born & raised in Harlem, New York, ASAP Rocky is no stranger to the cliché rap lifestyle, popularized by fellow Harlem Patriarchs from Big L & Kool Moe Dee to Ma$e, and Cam'ron. However, Rocky's entrenching yet melodic rap style has drawn more immediate comparisons to recently incarcerated Harlem... See Full Bio

“Following up the success of his codeine drenched underground hit “Purple Swag” comes the brand new track from ASAP Rocky–”Peso”. Produced by his in-house producer ASAP TY, the track thumps along just as smoothly as “Purple Swag” did, providing ASAP Rocky with the perfect amount of space to let his eager flow flourish. Look for this one to be the second single off his upcoming debut LP LiveLoveA$AP.”

— Mike Wash, Live For The Funk

“ASAP Rocky follows up underground hit "Purple Swag" with "Peso," the second single from his LiveLoveA$AP album. The LP drops next month. Listen to the new track below.”

“Featured Video "ASAP Rocky - Purple Swag"”

— Oliver, October's Very Own Blog

“ASAP Rocky is one of best artists you’ve never heard of. He hails from Harlem and just from the buzz of his video “Purple Swag” he’s being called the New York Rookie of the Year. The song itself is a swaggy ode to the Houston drank n’ stank, with lots of smoke-riddled introspection. Deep Purple carries in the same vain of the single: “Get High”, using back-spun records to bring fourth a sinsemilla-inspired message, “Uptown” riding the strength of a Lil Wayne sample for the chorus and “Been Around The World,” sounding like Wiz Khalifa with a few added brain cells. Coming in at 7-tracks deep, Rocky proves why you need to get at him ASAP.”

“ASAP Rocky has been the talk of the town over the past week. Ever since the release of his video for Purple Swag, people have gone as far as to say he’s the savior of NY rap. I don’t know if I could full on agree with that, but his Max B meets west coast style has me paying close attention. His subject matter isn’t that of the typical NY rapper either, rather a more vulgar/less famous Drake. Expect to hear about drug use, women, and anything else you can fit into that party lifestyle. Finally, the kid has that classic Harlem look that make’s him stand out in any video that he’s been in. While there isn’t much music out, he has the tastemaker crowd waiting in anticipation for the release of his new mixtape Live Love A$AP. In the mean time, we’ll all be pressing play on that Purple Swag video another 20 times a week. ”

“At regular speed, the ASAP Rocky/Clams Casino mind melt “Wassup” is like a rolling field of lavender—dense, real pretty, aroma-therapeutic and headache soothing. Rolled out and rumpled by Slim K, it’s even more deep purple. When Rocky says Tell em quit the bitchin/ We gon make it a second, you know he’s lying. Obviously he’s not going anywhere or going to do anything for anyone else—he’s as in-it and unmoving as a trance mediator. Spend some time in his warped doldrums, and you’ll start believing that no one should bitch about anything ever again—we’re all pretty and we’ll get where we’re going eventually.”

— Naomi Zeichner, The Fader

“ASAP Rocky's 'Purple Swag' will throw off your equilibrium. If you walked by my Canton house this past weekend, chances are better than good "Purple Swag" was blaring out of the living room. Harlem's ASAP Rocky has a steady-climbing buzz thanks to a small sample of woozy, drugged-out bangers. His songs have a bender quality — the low-end knocks off a listener's equilibrium, the slow vocals swirl the mind and Rocky's assured delivery somehow stabilizes the whole thing ... just enough. The white girl mouthing the lyrics (including an "N" word, while golds sit on her bottom row of teeth) and a "F--- SWAG" T-shirt are discussions best left to the hip-hop pundits who get off on that sort of thing. I'm too busy vibing out over here. ”

— Wesley Case, The Baltimore Sun

“Harlem pretty-boy ASAP Rocky‘s swallowed lilt sounds great on this Clams Casino beat, where sharp snares drill through a deep expanse of rebounding synths. Rocky ponders himself, saying the only thing bigger than my ego is my mirror and talks about his home-block acclaim. Then he looks back on his own reflection—the clothes get weirder. Maybe soon Rocky’s outfits will start to catch up to his warped output.”

— Naomi Zeichner, The Fader
