Rakim Myers

ASAP Rocky, aka Aisap Rocky, at the dawn of its popularity, in an interview with the cult edition of ID magazine, said that a person builds his own life - if a lemon falls into your hands, you need to quickly make lemonade. A guy with a wide range of interests is appreciated by those around him primarily for his music: two hip-hopper albums immediately after their release rose to the top of the authoritative Billboard charts.

The rapper, whose world name is Rakim Myers, was born in October 1988 in New York Harlem. Life in one of the most criminal areas of the Big Apple left an imprint on the artist's biography. The connection with drugs, which did not lead to a good ending, led Rakim's father to prison, a year later his brother was killed. And the performer himself traded in cocaine in his youth.

In an attempt to change their destiny, the family changed their place of residence - they moved to Pennsylvania, then to North Carolina. At one time, the children even ended up in an orphanage. In the end, the mother decided to return to New York. The problems only hardened Aisap's character and later "made him appreciate success more and be where we are now." Recalling his childhood, the artist admitted that "the main idols were drag dealers, rappers and basketball players." The turning point was the death of his brother, who instilled in Myers a love of rap.

At first, Aisup's style was close to trillwave or cloud, but over time, the hip-hopper has developed its own, easily recognizable, somewhat lyrical sound, combining Kid Cudy's melody and Mason Beta's Harlem brilliance. ASAP Rocky himself said that he could, of course, write something funny, but in music, as well as in clothes, he prefers dark tones.

In 2007, the rapper joined the ASAP Mob collective and quickly became the informal leader of the group. He blazed the trail in mainstream hip-hop under the leadership of ASAP Yams (Stephen Rodriguez), a friend and colleague and co-owner of ASAP Worldwide. Stephen passed away at the age of 26; in 2016, in a compilation with ASAP Mob, Rakim released the track “Cozy Tapes, Vol. 1 ”dedicated to his memory.

Among the first producers of the representative of the new wave of rap, Marquez Roll is also called, who bears the name SpaceGhostPurrp in the professional environment.

Until 2011, Myers had accumulated material, the next year he spent traveling with concerts, and in 2013 he shot the album “Live. Love. ASAP ”, which led to a $ 3 million contract with RCA and Polo Grounds, both affiliated with Sony Music.

Shortly before this separate single from the disc, the song "F ** kin 'Problems" was released, on the rating TV show 106 & Park there was a presentation of the video, to the creation of which Samantha Lecca and Clark Jackson were involved.

In 2015, Rocky's second studio album was released with an experimental, previously not inherent sound - "At. Long. Last. ASAP ”, which included the hit“ L $ D ”. The video for the song received a Grammy nomination in the Best Music Video category.

At the same time, the song "Good For You", recorded together with actress and singer Selena Gomez, hit the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100. For the girl, the single turned out to be the best premiere in her career and, in addition, received nominations from the Teen Choice Awards and the World Music Awards, became three times platinum in the United States and twice in Canada.

In 2016, the name ASAP Rocky appeared on the cover of the first album of British electronic music artist Alex Crossan (Mura Masa). This time, the rapper's "Love $ ick" collaboration was nominated for an Ivor Novello Prize and was named one of the best in a BBC poll.

Little is known about Aisap Rocky's relationship with the fair half of humanity. Rakim once mentioned that he likes blondes and, in general, women who are not inferior to men, like Rihanna or Madonna.

During the year, the rapper met with fellow musician Iggy Azalea. Moreover, the XXL edition claimed that Iggy and Aisap were brought together by journalists and fans, while no confirmation was received from the performers themselves. However, the bond between the young people was apparently so strong that the girl tattooed the name of her lover's debut mixtape "Live.Love.A $ AP" on her body.

Later, when the couple broke up, only the first two words remained on the singer's hand. The American press attributed ASAP Rocky romance with Lana Del Rey and Kendall Jenner.

ID magazine quoted Eisap as saying that while composing music, he looks for inspiration in psychedelic drugs and lives by the principle of "Girls, pot, money." The rapper even presents the end of his career in a stadium filled with thousands of fans, who listen to his songs in a narcotic excitement. How serious Rakim was during this interview was not specified.

A singer with a bright appearance is often invited for fashion shoots. So, Aisap became a representative of Dior and a model for Calvin Klein, for whom he starred in a "barn" photo shoot in the company of other members of the A $ AP Mob group. For his impeccable sense of style, Rocky was awarded the second place in the list of The Most Influential Person-2017, compiled by the Highsnobiety portal. The rapper even bypassed the famous dude Kanye West.

In 2016, Rakim himself became interested in design, but he does not strive to create independent collections - so far, it is only about cooperation with Guess Jeans and Under Armor. According to the musician, the designer of ASAP Rocky is the same as Alexander Wong is a rapper.

Rocky's Instagram account is not rich - several dozen photos and amusing freestyle videos. The musician lives in Soho or Los Angeles, nostalgia for Harlem, he just misses the times when he hung out in the center with peers of different nationalities, and therefore often revisits Larry Clark's film "Kids".

After a long silence at the beginning of 2018, Eisap announced the album "Testing" and released the single "5IVE $ TAR $" in collaboration with German rapper DRAM. Lenny Kravitz, Frank Ocean, British singer FKA twigs and Skulboy Kew participated in the recording of part of the 17 tracks on the disc.

In April of the same year, Rocky presented the track and video "A $ AP Forever", on which he worked together with multi-instrumentalist and singer Richard Hall, better known by his pseudonym Moby.

Before that, the musician posted on SoundCloud the product of his joint work with James Baker (aka BlocBoy JB) - the song "Bad Company". The song is slated to be featured on the soundtrack for Uncle Drew, a sports comedy starring Shaquille O'Neill.

In April 2018, the American rock group Thirty Seconds to Mars released their fifth studio album America, one of the tracks of which was One Track Mind featuring ASAP Rocky.
