    If you're willing to open your ears up, you'll be entertained by a high quality MC having a blast on record.

    By reaching every-damn-where he could, ASAP Rocky both sidesteps this pitfall and becomes one of the year's most exciting voices.

    LIVELOVEA$AP absolutely scorches from front-to-back; its author's ability to command a variety of sounds allows it to sound unified without drifting into monochrome territory.

    It all combines to create a very particular aesthetic, perfect for late night drives or dank smoke sessions, and the album doesn't have any higher ambitions than perfectly fitting these particular situations.

    Rocky's managed to keep it trill so far, but now comes the hard bit.

    Although the music is undeniably the most exciting part of the tape, A$AP does little to get in the way, oftentimes, enhancing the beats with his Bone Thugs-N-Harmony inspired flows.

    More about lyrical swagger than emotional substance, LiveLoveA$AP is a solid intro to someone who could be an enduring figure in the years ahead.

    Rocky's breakthrough mixtape is an experimental, hazy, drug infused mix of cloud rap and southern trap music. This tape is nothing specialRocky's breakthrough mixtape is an experimental, hazy, drug infused mix of cloud rap and southern trap music. This tape is nothing special lyrically, but the production excels and Rocky's flow is smooth and laid back which compliments the moody beats. Rocky's delivery is filled with charisma and cockiness across the tape which gives it a lot of character. Overall an enjoyable and intriguing debut.… Expand
