Spotlight - A$AP Rocky

With all the buzz around this guy, A$AP Rocky is a fitting first spotlight for 2012.

Born Rakim Mayers, A$AP Rocky is a rapper and director from Harlem, New York. His 2011 mixtape LiveLoveA$AP received rave reviews, and featured in a couple of top 20 lists. He was also nominated for the BBC's Sound Of 2012 last year.

Rocky is part of the A$AP (Always Strive and Prosper) crew, which consists of MCs, producers, and designers. He debuted his songs Pe$o and Purple Swag,to much acclaim in the Hip Hop industry. He has a rather different and interesting sound and flow thats quite entertaining to me. If I had copped the mixtape before I did my Top 20 albums of 2011 post it would definitely have been in the top 10.

Now this is one dude to look out for this year.
