I didn’t want it to sound like regular trap songs. I want to make colossal-type music that you could put on while you’re playing your video games, or music from scores of movies where serious things happen. It’s real cloud-like music- music from my dreams and fantasies. Pitchfork: Where was your head at artistically while making Trap Lord?Ī$AP Ferg: I wanted it to sound sonically different from everything else. We spoke about his ambitions for Trap Lord, being as big as Jesus, and his unique style. "We represent Dipset all the way to Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, and Basquiat." "There’s never been kids like us that come from Harlem," he says. And like Rocky, Ferg's artistic worldview isn't limited to hip-hop- a graduate of NYC's High School of Art and Design (which counts Mobb Deep and Fabolous among its alumni), he's studied fashion and fine arts, and cites Salvador Dali, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jeff Koons as his favorite visual artists.

Along with tracks that lined up with his solo songs from A$AP Mob's 2012 release Lords Never Worry, there was also more experimental fare, like "Cocaine Castle", a lush drug epic.īorn Darold Ferguson, Jr., the rapper comes from a Harlem hip-hop lineage, as his father designed the famed Bad Boy Entertainment logo. Stocky, warm, and collected, he gave me a preview of the tape, playing it over his SUV's stereo via his own busted laptop. Now he's prepping his solo debut, Trap Lord, due out in July. There, Ferg unbottled a free-flowing, sing-song-y verse that teetered between unhinged, delirious, funny, hammy, and catchy all at once. He broke through on the strength of his drop-in on “Kissin’ Pink”, a vivid cut that easily stood out on Rocky’s debut mixtape LIVELOVEA$AP. Over the last couple of years, Ferg has proven himself to be the most exciting artist within A$AP Mob, aside from crew leader (and fellow pescatarian) A$AP Rocky. "I told my girl that I could live off grilled cheese for the rest of my life, and I’d be good." "I’m slowly moving toward being a vegetarian, because I’m getting sick of fish," the Harlem rapper says. He's been a pescataerian for a year, and he's still figuring out a balance.

I suggest the crispy crab roll, but he balks. A$AP Ferg is looking over a selection of sushi at Whole Foods in downtown Manhattan.
