LONG.LIVE.A$AP

LONG.LIVE.A$AP, A$AP Rocky's 2013 debut studio album, blends East Coast hip hop with southern trap rhythms and atmospheric, often psychedelic production. The record pairs hazy, sample-driven beats, deep bass and occasional electronic or dubstep-tinged textures with Rocky's laid-back, melodic flow and persona-driven lyrics. Backed by a range of producers and guest vocalists, the album helped define Rocky's moody, fashion-forward aesthetic and broadened the sonic palette associated with New York rap in the early 2010s.
