Rakim Mayers took his stage name from ASAP Mob, the Harlem collective he came up in, and then took Harlem rap somewhere hazier than New York usually allows. When "Peso" leaked in August 2011 and radio grabbed it within weeks, it hauled cloud rap, that woozy, slow-motion strain of hip-hop, out of the internet's back rooms and into the mainstream. By October he had signed with Polo Grounds Music, an RCA imprint, and his debut mixtape, Live. Love. A$AP, drew raves.
The major-label run came fast. "Fuckin' Problems", the posse cut with Drake, 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar, set up LONG.LIVE.A$AP in 2013. AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP in 2015 went stranger and more psychedelic, from the lysergic drift of "LSD" to "Everyday", which roped in Rod Stewart, Miguel and Mark Ronson. TESTING, in 2018, pushed further out again, the sound of a rapper fiddling with the knobs on purpose, and "Praise the Lord (Da Shine)" is its sharpest moment.
He has always been as much art director as MC. He founded the creative agency and label AWGE in 2014, co-directs most of his own videos, and has produced and co-written for other artists, often under the alias Lord Flacko. The countdowns have even picked up his take on Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay".
