    His major-label debut proves he's more than a magnetic hedonist.

    LongLiveA$AP delivers on and even exceeds the promise of LiveLoveA$AP. Like that mixtape, the album is a triumph of craft and curation, preserving Rocky's immaculate taste while smartly upgrading his sound

    Rocky raps over the music without saying a damn thing older, meaner, and sharper rappers haven't said before. Then, bang, three dynamite songs.... Then, aww, three tracks that could be more obvious by half.

    On any number of blockbuster mixtapes, all that posturing would feel cold and calculated. It's purposeful here, too, but warmly and adoringly so.

    This album is great! Though this may not be as amazing as his prior mix tape. A$AP showcases a variety of monster beats and producers, his rap skills are by far beyond expectations with his flow and rhymes. Best tracks on the album are: Long Live ASAP, F**kin Problems, Wild For the Night, Phoenix, and Ghetto Symphony.… Full Review »
