[Video] A$AP Rocky brings out B-Real in Austin

Headlined by Wiz Khalifa, the The Under The Influence Tour has a pretty stacked line up of some up and comers in the game. While the crowd was clearly there to see Wiz judging by all the band tees, I was looking forward to seeing A$AP Rocky. I hadn't seen A$AP live since last summer in Chicago when he performed at Pitchfork, and this was the first time he'd been back to Austin since he tore up SXSW two years ago. While I enjoyed his set at Pitchfork, I could see his growth since then at last night's show. He just commanded the stage, and after the first song, he had the crowd in the palm of his hands; all eyes were on him. One of the best things about his performance was that he came out to a full band, and that just added so much more to the whole experience.

What really made the night for me, however, was when A$AP brought out B-Real to cover some Cypress Hill classics like "How I Could Just Kill A Man." After that, the night belonged to A$AP as he closed out with hits like "Goldie" and "F**ckin' Problems." Check out the video to see both ASAP & B Real perform at the Austin 360 Amphitheater. More photos are coming soon.

A$AP Rocky Visits Terry Richardson's Studio

It's seems like Terry Richardson just about shoots everyone we can think of imaginable. The photographer has shot the likes of Kate Upton, James Franco, Robin Thicke, and even Selena Gomez... the list goes on and on, so let's just say that he's a pretty popular dude judging by the people that come to visit his studio. His most recent visitor was A$AP Rocky, and he captured the rapper in a variety of iconic poses that Terry is known for. Check out some of the photos from the shoot below and for the whole set visit Richardson's tumblr here.

[Video] A$AP Ferg: "Shabba" (feat. A$AP Rocky)

The A$AP Mob is back at it with the official video for A$AP Ferg's "Shabba" featuring A$AP Rocky. The visual has a nice throwback style to it with prominent video vixens, a mansion, hella mogs in it and 90's apparel. The video also has a bunch of funny bits including the whole crew sitting at the dinner table and Rocky being chased by a chubby maid. Trap Lord is due on August 20.

A$AP Ferg: "Shabba" (feat. A$AP Rocky)

A$AP Ferg has as much star potential as A$AP Rocky had before he dropped Live.Love.A$AP, now with a solo record-deal and a certified hit in "Work" Ferg is looking to profit off the buzz he has obtained the same way Rocky did a year ago.

"Shabba" is Ferg's first official single off his long-awaited Trap Lord project, which is dropping August 20th, and it features his A$AP contemporary for an extra push. Expect to listen to this record all over the radio soon!
