A$AP Rocky continues to impress me with what he’s putting out. He’s clearly a hip hop artist, but constantly pushes boundaries to go beyond what is acceptable in the genre. A$AP’s most recent two examples include linking up with producers from the electronic scene who are making some of the nastiest music out. The “Rave Riot” video serves as visual art with footage of riots & people running crazy in the streets over a dark instrumental from West Philly’s Baauer. The track for the Divergent soundtrack might have the illest beat in hip hop so far for 2014. Working with Gesaffelstein now A$AP? He’s the only one in the game that has the vision for where hip hop’s future is headed. He’s gotta be inspired by what Kanye showed us on Yeezus. He also got himself a little side gig doing some modeling for DKNY. Pretty nigga. Stay tuned.
