A$AP Rocky

9 Aug, 2012

During recent years, Rakim Mayers from New York has been seen as one of the best new rappers, under the alias A$AP Rocky. Last autumn, he released the mixtape LiveLoveA$AP which was labeled ‘best new music’ by Pitchfork in November. Their review read «If anything, LiveLoveA$AP is a triumph of immaculate taste. Rocky’s ear for beats is worthy of Rick Ross or early Game».  He grew up listening to a good mixture of gangster rap and classical soul. These days, he is inspired by both rock, indie and hiphop. He has had a great buzz during recent months, probably to some extent caused by his record deal worth 3 million dollars.
Stereogum, FACT Magazine and Gorilla vs Bear are among those who thought LiveLoveA$AP was one of last year’s best releases. We’re positive that he’ll impress you with his live show in the Medieval Park in August.
