LiveLoveA$AP

2011A$AP Rocky Not On Label (ASAP Rocky Self-released)Mixtape & Blog Era

Own the record

LiveLoveA$AP is the 2011 debut mixtape by Harlem’s A$AP Rocky, released free that October.

The story

“Peso” and “Purple Swag” spread fast online, and a major-label deal worth a reported $3 million followed. Rocky and the A$AP Mob became fashion and music stars.

Sound and production

Rocky borrowed Houston’s slowed-down drawl and Memphis’s dark atmosphere, and Clams Casino’s cloudy beats on “Palace” and “Wassup” defined the cloud rap sound.

Legacy

It showed that New York rap could draw from the South, and it’s one of the defining tapes of the blog era.
