Harlem’s A$AP Rocky has been one name that’s been in every industry head’s lips as of late. And unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past twelve months, then you’d probably know that Rocky isn’t the only uptown emcee who’s primed to strike it big in 2012; he’s got the whole A$AP Mob behind him, and he’s make sure they get their fair share of shine. Now, Complex introduces us to the members of the A$AP Mob, including producer A$AP Ty Beats, rappers A$AP Ferg, A$AP Nasty, A$AP Ant and A$AP Twelvy, Rocky’s manager A$AP Yams and the group’s founder/fashion guru A$AP Bari.
