REVIEW: 'Long. Live. A$AP'- A$AP Rocky

Rating: 4/5

Released: January 15, 2013

Length: 49:25

Singles: Goldie and F****n' Problems (feat. Drake, Kendrick Lamar and 2 Chainz)

A$AP Rocky is the latest in a long line of alt-rappers turned mainstream. His mix tapes have been met with critical acclaim, he appeared as President John F. Kennedy opposite Lana Del Rey's Jackie O in her 'National Anthem' video, and he put his mouth on Kathy Griffin's breasts. His mix tape 'Live. Love. A$AP' was heralded by critics as a new dawn of hip hop.

A$AP is the bridge. He bridges alternative hip hop and mainstream hip hop. If his rise to fame isn't evidence of this fact, his collaborations solidify it. Combining the mainstream sounds of Drake and 2 Chainz with alt-hip hop up and comer Kendrick Lamar is genius.

This record blends the differences of mainstream hip hop, bragging and big beats, with alternative hip hop, dark sounds and themes, creating an album that is completely unique in its sounds.

Other collabs include: Skrillex, Santigold and Florence Welch creating a strong album that shows the direction of hip-hop is heading into a golden era.

Highlights: Long Live A$AP, Goldie, PMW (All I Really Need) (feat, Schoolboy Q), Hell (feat. Santigold), F****n' Problems (feat. Drake, Kendrick Lamar and 2 Chainz), Wild For The Night (feat. Skrillex and Birdy Nam Nam)
