It’s been nearly two years since Harlem, New York rapper A$AP Rocky released his debut solo album, Long.Live.A$AP, and according to the A$AP Mob lyricist, the release of his sophomore album is on the horizon.
While speaking with Highsnobiety TV, Rocky provided an update on his solo release as well as projects from A$AP Ferg and A$AP Mob. He revealed that a mixtape from Ferg will come first and will then be followed by his sophomore album. An A$AP Mob mixtape and studio album from Ferg are also reportedly in the works.
A$AP Rocky also spoke on his desire to “influence culture” and “give people a reason to listen to music.”
“We got Ferg coming out with his mixtape project soon,” A$AP Rocky said. “Right after him, my sophomore. Right after that, the Mob tape and hopefully another Ferg album. We trying to smash on y’all mothafuckas [in] 2015, man. We’re just trying to really influence culture and give people a reason to listen to music and enjoy lifestyle. Because honestly, it really don’t take much to be happy in life and we’re trying to show people that shit. I ain’t been happy like this in a while. I ain’t have this much fun in a while. And I know with this kind of energy being invested into my music, the possibilities are endless. It’s like old times. I feel 10 again. I feel reckless again. Be ready.”
In March of this year, Rocky provided a brief update on the status of his sophomore album when he stated “SOPHOMORE ALBUM COMING ASAP,” in a caption on Instagram.
A$AP Ferg, who was also present during the interview, spoke on the flashy lifestyle of those in A$AP Mob. He recalled those in the group “getting fly” before they had money.
“We been doing this when we was broke,” A$AP Ferg said. “We been mobbing like this and getting flying and fuckin’ spending all our money on clothes when we was broke. When we didn’t have no money we had friends that were stealing that shit…We can get broke again and we still gon’ look like we got money.”

i remember it was supposed to come out same day as Officer Ricky’s Masterflop but got pushed back indefinitely and still hasnt come out!
A$AP’s sophomore album is finna be huge!!!! Got me excited for 2015 hip hop
A$AP Mob is pretty hit and miss for me. I really liked LiveLoveA$AP, then I didnt care for the Mob tape or Rocky’s debut album. Then when Ferg put his album out I really liked that as well. Most of the singles from LORD weren’t really that great either so I’m glad they decided to scrap the album.
still havent checkout out Fergs album is it pretty good?
These guys are the bright spots in rap today. they’re up there with Freddie Gibbs, Action Bronson, Drake, YG, Mac Miller and Migos. Look forward to hearing more from all of them
Don’t add anymore to this list, they weren’t mentioned for a reason
Your list sucks.
YG? Migos? LOL what a joke.
both of the responses are from white boys who only listen to atmosphere and aesop rock. fags
So because the two Anonymous repliers said that OP’s list sucks and that YG and Migos suck, they’re white boys who listen to underground rap? LOL close-minded fag. If there’s any bright spots in rap, it’s with TDE, Logic, Big KRIT, J Cole, etc.
Naw I listen to Atmosphere too. I knew some goober was going to say J Cole and Logic but sorry they are wack. Big Krit needs to just stick to producing and hold someone down on a joint album one time. as for TDE their early stuff was good but they’re hype. I stick by my list and they are the most talented region wide
Migos and YG are for people who like to have fun and don’t have a stick up there ass all the time
Everyone I named are original doing shit no one else is doing and doing it well. Everyone you named was a typical rap dork list
Go away
