Real Name: Rakim Mayers
With a sound that is accepted and loved by Americans and internationals alike, the uptown-bred leader of the A$AP Mob is taking the airwaves by storm. In 2011, the self-named Pretty Flacko dropped mixtapes Deep Purple and Live.Love.A$AP and has built up quite a hype with songs “Purple Swag” and “Peso.” Since then, A$AP has signed a $3 million deal with Sony/RCA subdivision Polo Grounds Music, shared the cover of Complex Magazine with one of his fashion favorites, Jeremy Scott and is preparing to headline the 3rd annual OVO Fest alongside Drake, 2 Chainz, and the Weeknd. And for the fashion aficionado, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
