In a generation where any average joe can record a mixtape and release it to the world for free, it's safe to say that their isn't much originality anymore. We can make an exception with
A$AP Rocky though. He has sparked the flame with his acid-tripped anthem '
Peso' and '
Purple Swag'. He has put Harlem back on the map. Can't remember the last time I heard a Harlem shout out on a record.
Diddy and the Family, or Harlem World. Anyways, it was just announced that
A$AP is fresh off of signing a $3 million deal with
Polo Grounds Music, a subdivision of
Sony/RCA. The deal includes $1.7 million for himself as a solo artist, and $1.3 million to fund a group label called
A$AP Worlwide. This kid has a bigger picture it seems. Be sure to get his newest mixtape,
LIVELOVEA$AP releasing on Monday 31, 2011. Also check out an exclusive interview pitchfork did with the rapper.
