Our account with A$AP Rocky was declared to booty abode backstage afterwards an A$AP Mob concert in Philly, in a quiet, abandoned room, but in the moment, Rocky had a bigger idea. “We charge to abduction this anarchy appropriate here,” he said, gesturing about his bathrobe room, still arranged with Mob members, girls, aegis guards, added anonymous loiterers, and alike (according to A$AP Ferg, anyway) a apart mouse. “Let's embrace the chaos,” Rocky suggested. “Rolling Stones in 1967, feel me?”
He took his atom in the average of a covering couch, amidst by his old accompany from Harlem—Ferg, Nast, Ant, and Twelvyy—and started absolutely breaking bottomward a baby bank of edger as he batten in a post-concert rasp. Every so often, he'd aggravate me for allurement so abounding questions. But some of them he didn't apperception so much: GQ Appearance had calm them from a few of Rocky's notable accompany and admirers, with a affiance of bringing aback answers.
The anarchy Rakim Mayers attracts is a aftereffect of his charisma, which is raw and uncut. It is el puro, conceivably the purest of any brilliant in pop culture—Hollywood, music, fashion, whatever. And accustomed that Rocky's mom alleged him and his ancient sister, Erika B. Mayers, afterwards Eric B. & Rakim, it was alone accustomed that a kid who seems to crank up the blush assimilation whenever he walks into a allowance would approach his God-given wattage into rap music. From the beginning, though, Rocky additionally accustomed himself as a appearance innovator and fabricated appearance an adherent allotment of his music. In his blemish video, for “Peso,” he repped hard-edged, gothic-leaning streetwear like Atramentous Scale, as able-bodied as added accustomed beat appearance like Rick Owens and Y3, while rapping, Raf Simons, Rick Owens usually what I'm dressed in. That was aback in 2011, continued afore he anchored Simons's absurd hip-hop-icon cachet with the song “Raf” this July. It's not a amplitude to say Rocky is partially amenable for authoritative European aerial appearance as abundant a allotment of hip-hop and pop ability as streetwear.
In the six years aback he aboriginal appeared on YouTube, aggregate he's affected has taken on a array of bewitched flyness. He's put out three acknowledged abandoned albums; recorded hit songs like “L$D,” “Yamborghini High” with the A$AP Mob, and “Fuckin Problems” with Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and 2 Chainz; blanket scenes in the surprise-hit indie blur Dope, co-starring Shameik Moore; and launched a artistic agency, alleged AWGE. Afterwards this year, he'll arise in Anthony Mandler's Monster and he'll activate a wide-ranging, abiding accord with Under Armour. He's become a rap star, a appearance godhead, a music mogul, an actor, a designer-entrepreneur-influencer—a accurate artistic in universes breadth anybody calls themselves creatives.
Now, afterwards two years spent cutting up all those hyphens, he is accessible to acknowledgment to the aboriginal affair that fabricated him: rap music. But things are a little altered this time. In January 2015, Rocky's best friend, business partner, and mentor, A$AP Yams, anesthetized abroad in bed at his Brooklyn accommodation from an adventitious prescription-drug overdose. Rocky was there the night of Yams's afterlife and was amid those who begin him. A few months later, in May, Rocky appear At.Long.Last.A$AP; on the anthology cover, Rocky's face bears Yams's signature purplish red birthmark.

So I absolutely appetite to accomplish a difference. So I got with Kevin and Under Armour so we could accessible up absolute rec centers with fly bits in them. Not hand-me-down toys and technology—new stuff. And programs for kids to apprentice to become entrepreneurs, designers, athletes.
