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.”
