ASAP Mob (stylized as A$AP Mob, ASAP being an acronym for "Always Strive and Prosper")[1] is an American hip hop collective formed in 2006 in Harlem, New York City,[2] that consists of rappers (all of whom carry the "ASAP" moniker; except Playboi Carti and the late Chynna), record producers, music video directors and fashion designers.[1]

In August 2012, the collective released the mixtape Lords Never Worry. They released the single "Trillmatic" in December 2013,[3][4][5] followed by their debut studio album, Cozy Tapes Vol. 1: Friends, in October 2016.

In 2006, Steven Rodriguez, professionally known as ASAP Yams, formed the collective with fellow New Yorkers ASAP Bari and ASAP Illz.[2] Harlem rapper ASAP Rocky joined later.[2] In the summer of 2011, the group released music videos for Rocky's singles "Peso" and "Purple Swag", produced by ASAP Ty Beats. Rocky followed up with his mixtape Live.Love.ASAP in October, signing a record deal with Sony Music Entertainment that month.[6][7]
