A$AP Ferg

A founding member of Harlem's A$AP Mob (Always Strive and Prosper), A$AP Ferg was initially the group's main clothing designer but after teaming with Mob member A$AP Rocky he became one of the crew's breakout rappers. While Ferg and Rocky were originally planned to be the crew's Mobb Deep-like duo, they found more success as solo artists, beginning with Rocky and his series of 2012 mixtapes. Ferg's big break came that same year when his track "Work" landed as the key cut on the A$AP Mob's mixtape Lords Never Worry. The announcement that A$AP Ferg signed with RCA came in early 2013 and was followed by an all-star remix of "Work" with Trinidad James, French Montana, and Schoolboy Q added to the cut. That same year Ferg's "Persian Wine" single landed along with his solo album Trap Lord. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
