A$AP Yams lives on in the memory of many as today (January 18) marks the second anniversary of his passing.
The A$AP Mob founder died in 2015 of a drug overdose, but the Harlem group has made sure his legacy continues, especially through the Yams Day celebration and the Cozy Tapes Vol. 1 album, which was HipHopDX’s #18 album of 2016.
A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, A$AP Nast, A$AP Twelvyy and A$AP Ant all paid tribute to their leader, born Steven Rodriguez, on Twitter as they prepared for the second Yams Day concert tonight.
