A$VP FERG Interview —

Aspiring to evoke that feel good emotion from listeners across generations, ASAP Ferg’s approach to a song is definitive in its own right. “I wanna bring the love back to music,” Ferg states, when describing his artistic vision. For many who were first introduced to him by the “Kissin Pink” track off of LiveLoveAsap, it is easy to identify Fergenstein’s flow with the sentiment received from old school soul music, the genre which he attributes to the be the primary source of his inspiration.


Having always been a child of the old school, ASAP Ferg found himself immersed in the moneymaking Manhattan culture since he was a shorty. As a seed, Ferg witnessed his father build his own success in the t-shirt printing business, having designed the vintage logos for Bad Boy and Heavy D. As his music continues to move forward, Ferg seeks to carry on his father’s legacy by re-establishing the clothing company, adding his own touch of futuristic ASAP swag to the D Ferg brand.

Within a year of dropping the video to “Get High,” ASAP has since broken ground quickly going from a gang of creative New York misfits to viral trendsetters. With this increased buzz, and a notoriety that is long overdue, Ferg has recently distinguished himself with A Hundred Million Roses, his own proclamation of trill, announcing just exactly who he is, and why the world needs to get familiar afuckinsap. Be on the lookout for upcoming work from ASAP Ferg, and be sure to stay tuned for the ASAP Mob compilation album, set to be released this February.

ASAP ROCKY: Exclusive Interview

2011 has certainly been a breakout year for ASAP Rocky. Having hit the ground running with “Purple Swag” and “Peso”, two swagnificent videos that catapulted him into overnight stardom, the Harlem phenom continues to mob on the industry with an increasing online recognition to go along with his embracing street buzz. Named after the god emcee Rakim, it’s only fitting that the 23 year-old harlemite dictate his own, unique lane in the game. With purple drinks and lit swishas, Rocky projects a sound that exemplifies a new age of rebel youth in a context that encompasses both the Texas trill lifestyle and an authentic New York swag.

Shortly after inking a lucrative deal with Polo Grounds Music / RCA Records, Rocky dropped the highly anticipated LiveLoveA$AP, and listeners have been seeing purple ever since. Moving with the support and creative inspiration of a closely-knit ASAP brotherhood, one can’t help to anticipate great work to come out of the self-proclaimed “pretty muthafucka.” Although Rocky has thus far emerged as the clique’s standout artist, the ASAP Mob boasts a whole team of dope emcees, and producers like ASAP Ty Beats, proving that their movement is a force to be reckoned with.

In just the short time that the ASAP Rocky has been in the public eye, he has already exhibited a number of ambitions outside the mic booth. Blow! caught up with Rocky in the midst of one of these outside endeavors, as he was co-directing Danny Brown’s video for “Blunt After Blunt.” While on set, Rocky speaks about his influences, ASAP philosophy, and why he will certainly be a multi-faceted tastemaker in the years to come.

ASAP Rocky is currently gearing up to hit the road with Drake and Kendrick Lamar, as a featured act on the Club Paradise Tour. Be sure to stay on the lookout to see what 2012 has in store for the ASAP Mob.
