ASAP Mob (stylized as ASAP 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), 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

Formation and early beginnings (2006–2012)

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,[citation needed] signing a record deal with Sony Music Entertainment that month.[6][7]

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]
