A$AP Rocky

A$AP Rocky is revitalizing New York Hip Hop with a sound and style indebted to everyone but New York Hip Hop. Yes, dude is clearly obsessed with slow-burning, syrup-soaked chopped and screwed music. And his skater punk-inspired image and “A$AP movement” angle does bear a striking resemblance to Odd Future.

But don’t let the haters fool you; Rocky is among Hip Hop’s most exciting new faces. His brand new mixtape LiveLoveA$AP is a savvy, fully realized album, featuring drugged-out, ominous beats and deceptively clever, consistently entertaining rhymes.

And did I mention dude just signed a deal with Columbia for $3million?
