Bryan Leach had a sit down with XXL Mag and goes over everything A$AP Rocky. I was feeling Bryan saying that “Rocky is an old school artist.” That’s exactly where I would classify him. I think it’s why I’m off him right now. Throwback feeling. On another note, Bryan tells XXL that A$AP was basically skeptical of signing. He mentions that Rocky made him promise to do something for him if he signed. Because “Rocky’s an old school artist he doesn’t sign to labels he signs to people,” Bryan says, “If you can promise me that you’ll be as hands-on as you are now always, then we might be able to do something. It was important for me to be really hands-on and making sure that nothing got thrown to some big department or some big group of so-called experts, or shit like that.” Respect. As long as A$AP keeps making the music that I want to hear I’m good. Drop down bottom for more. JaaiR (JR)
(Video) A$AP Rocky Talks The New Album And Which Song Almost Didn’t Make The Cut
With one more day until “Long.Live.A$AP” drops, A$AP Rocky has been making his rounds. I think he’s high as a kite in this interview, but I still love him. There was one song that Rocky was feeling heavy on the album and it was real close to not making it. Probably one of the reasons the album got pushed back. Drop down bottom and check it out.

A$AP Ferg Has Finally Signed That Solo Deal !!!
A$AP Mob members Ferg and Rocky are now label mates. Ferg signed his solo deal with Polo Grounds Music/RCA Records. A$AP Ferg’s first single as a signed artist will be “Work” on iTunes, January 22nd. Just days after Rocky’s LONG.LIVE.A$AP is to be released. Rocky comments on his boy getting the deal that he’s always wanted, “A$AP Ferg worked hard for this and I put all my faith and backing into him. I feel like ‘Work’ is our generation’s ‘Sippin On Some Syrup’ [by Three 6 Mafia and UGK] or ‘Chickenhead’ [by Project Pat, La Chat and Three 6 Mafia], it has that feeling.” We’ll see. Ferg is also suppose to be working on a clothing line called “Trap Lord”. BIG things in 2013. Congratulations A$AP Ferg. Proof that good talent will be recognized. Drop down bottom for more.
