Fresh Beets: Who is ASAP Rocky?

Who is ASAP Rocky? Known for his viral hits "Purple Swag" and "Pe$o", the Harlem rapper has been getting a lot of buzz. His fanbase is growing and celebs such as Mos Def, Jim Jones, Dave Chappelle, and Drake are a part of it. "Pe$o", which was not only a hit on the internet, but also made it's way on the radio on NYC's Hot 97. Pusha T just released his version to track several hours ago as well.

As of last Friday, ASAP Rocky signed a $3 million deal with Polo Grounds Music, a subdivision of Sony/RCA. He is the first artist since 50 Cent to receive this substantial amount for a first signing. Clearly, the company sees huge potential in his work.

So is ASAP Rocky the “next big thing” or just the latest flavor of the month? He dropped his mixtape "Live, Love, A$AP" on yesterday on October 31, and it can be downloaded here. Follow the movement on twitter @LIVELOVEASAP
