Description
A$AP Rocky: LONG.LIVE.A$AP – Deluxe Version (Colored Vinyl) 2LP
Absolutely no Harlem Shaking was done while recording this record. A$AP Rocky caused waves of commotion via the interwebz in 2011/12 with the release of his mixtape ‘Live.Love.ASAP.’producing one of the best Southern Rap records in the last 5 years. The only odd thing about that is he is from New York. This being his major label debut and him moving to LA doesn’t change the dark, brooding sound that producer Clams Casino helped him champion just a year ago. Carrying most of the album on his shoulders, you can’t have a rap album without guests. Santigold, A$AP Ferg, Kendrick Lamar, 2Chainz, Drake, even Skrillex dropped in. Stand out tracks include the Hit Boy produced ‘Goldie’, title track ‘Long.Live.A$AP’ is ridiculously banging, posse rap cut ‘F*cking Problems’, + the Skrillex co-produced ‘Wild For The Night’ is dubsteppy… but we can easily overlook that for Rocky. The album comes packaged in a beautiful gatefold sleeve with insert 2×12 translucent orange vinyl pressing. Recommended.
