A$AP Rocky - LongLiveA$AP

Review by Kyle Ellison

LongLiveA$AP is a hollow, characterless listen from a young artist who we still know next to nothing about.»

Buy now from:

deluxe 16 track cd with 16 page colour booklet. 'long live a$ap' delivers on and even exceeds the promise of 'live love a$ap'. like that mixtape, the album is a triumph of craft and curation, preserving rocky's immaculate taste while smartly upgrading his sound. a third of the record remains close in style to 'live love a$ap' while most of the collaborations follow in the steps of last spring's 'goldie', which stamped producer hit-boy's signature mini-boss musik with a screwed-up hook and gumball-spitting flow that marked it as unmistakably rocky's. plenty of rap-industry heavies appear on 'long live a$ap', and they mix well with rocky's younger comrades. production credits include kickdrums, joey fat beats, soufein3000, ty beats and others. featured artists include kendrick lamar, 2 chainz, lana del rey, drake and more.
