ASAP Rocky | Before They Were Famous | UPDATED | From Tragic Childhood to Worldwide Success

Before ASAP Rocky would become a chart-topping sensation in the
hip-hop scene as a member of the A$AP Mob in 2011 and release
classic solo albums like “Long Live A$AP”, “At Long Last A$AP”, and
“Testing”. Before ASAP Rocky would begin dating his long-time
friend Rihanna at the tail end of 2020. One of hip-hop’s most
popular spitters and a true counter-culture maverick, A$AP Rocky is
renowned for his multitude of talents; his ability on the mic, his
flair for fashion, his enjoyment of psychedelic drugs, and his very
public love life that includes exes like Kendall Jenner and Iggy
Azalea. The most successful member of Harlem’s A$AP Mob – a
collective of MCs, producers, video directors, and designers, Rocky
kicked off his career in 2011 and earned himself an eye-popping $3
Million dollar deal with Sony/RCA in no time flat. Hit songs like
“Peso”, “Trilla”, and “Purple Swag” thrilled audiences from the
very beginning, but few people at the time understood the struggle
Rocky had to go through to get to this moment. An incarcerated
father, a murdered brother, and his own stint at Ryker’s Island is
just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this dude’s absolutely
insane story. But in the end, A$AP Rocky would triumph over it all
on his journey to becoming one of the most popular rappers to ever
hail from the East Coast.
