We were expecting A$AP Ferg‘s sophomore LP, Always Strive And Prosper, earlier this year, but in the meantime the Harlem native has provided us with stellar guest features and loosie bangers, taking attention off the delayed nature of his new album. Outside of its Future-featured lead single, “New Level,” we’ve received very little information about Always Strive And Prosper, but we’re expecting it to feature an A$AP Ferg that’s grown both sonically and lyrically, and a freshly revealed set of guest features certainly lends validity to the former sentiment.
When A.S.A.P. finally drops, it will feature guest contributions from a plethora of singers and rappers, including but not limited to Chris Brown, Missy Elliott, ScHoolboy Q and Grimes, and production from Clams Casino, Lex Luger, Stargate and Skrillex, among others. Ferg revealed all this in a newly released interview with Stereogum, which you can read here.
Ferg will (hopefully) soon be ending an near three-year album hiatus; his debut major label LP, Trap Lord, dropped in August of 2013 and featured the monster hits “Work” and “Shabba.” Since then Ferg has released just one project, Ferg Forever, on which he collaborated with the likes of Big Sean, Twista and SZA.
