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.
History
[edit]Formation and early beginnings (2006–2012)
[edit]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]
Lords Never Worry (2012–2014)
[edit]On August 27, 2012, ASAP Mob released their debut project, a mixtape titled Lords Never Worry, as a free download.[8] From September to November, Rocky toured with opening acts Schoolboy Q, Danny Brown, and ASAP Mob in support of his solo debut album.[9]
In January 2013, ASAP Ferg signed a joint venture deal with RCA and Polo Grounds, which released his single "Work" for retail on iTunes.[10] An official remix of "Work", featuring Rocky, French Montana, Schoolboy Q and Trinidad James, followed.[11]
Rocky's debut album Long. Live. ASAP, was released on January 15, 2013,[12] debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 139,000 copies in the United States.[13]
ASAP Ferg announced that ASAP Mob would release their debut album after the release of his solo debut album Trap Lord,[14][15] on August 20, 2013.[16] The album peaked at number nine on the Billboard 200 and number four on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, with first-week sales of 32,000 copies in the United States.[17] In November 2013, ASAP Rocky announced that ASAP Mob's debut album would be titled Lords.[18] On December 4, 2013, the album's first single, entitled "Trillmatic."[19] The album title was then changed to L.O.R.D.[20][21] On January 13, 2014, the single "See Me" by ASAP Ant was released.[22]
On September 26, 2014, ASAP Yams revealed that L.O.R.D. had been shelved.[23]
Cozy Tapes series (2015–present)
[edit]On January 18, 2015, ASAP Mob revealed that ASAP Yams had died[24] of acute mixed drug intoxication.[25] On October 15, 2016, ASAP Rocky confirmed that the group's compilation album Cozy Tapes Vol. 1: Friends was completed.[26] Dedicated to ASAP Yams, the album was released on October 31, 2016, and featured several artists, including Playboi Carti, Skepta and Tyler, The Creator.
On August 1, 2017, ASAP Rocky announced that Cozy Tapes Vol. 2: Too Cozy would be released on August 25, preceded by ASAP Twelvyy's 12 album on August 4 and ASAP Ferg's Still Striving album on August 18.[27]
On January 13, 2019, ASAP Ant announced that he was leaving the collective to focus on his solo career.[28] He returned in April, confirming that the collective had begun work on their third studio album, Cozy Tapes 3.[29]
Deaths of ASAP members
[edit]- On January 18, 2015, ASAP Yams was found dead at the age of 26.[30][31] The cause of death was ruled an overdose due to mixed drug intoxication,[25] although ASAP Mob members and affiliates claimed that Yams had died of asphyxiating on vomit brought on by sleep apnea.[32][33][34]
- On February 2, 2020, J. Scott, also known as ASAP Snacks, died.[35]
- On October 16, 2021, ASAP Josh died.[37]
Alleged shooting of ASAP Relli by ASAP Rocky
