Still Striving | A$AP Ferg

On the heels of A$AP Twelvvy’s release, groupmate A$AP Ferg keeps the momentum going with his own banger, Still Striving. Jumping off with a feature from Meek Mill was definitely risky, but proved successful as Philly’s finest actually delivered one of his best verses this year on Trap and a Dream. Moreover, Ferg just knows how to effectively utilize features, rather than being outshined on his tracks. Ferg managed to combine Dave East’s gritty charm and his unique sound in perfect street harmony for Olympian as well as not over using Lil Yachty’s distinct vocals on Aww Yeah. He never donned another rapper’s artistry and for that alone, Still Striving is dope. With pieces of 36 Mafia and Ludacris throughout the album intertwined with the energy A$AP Ferg brings to every table, Still Striving is action packed rap with no sing-song fluff. You find yourself bouncing uncontrollable to jams like Plain Jane, Rubber Band Man feat. Cam’ron, and Nasty (Who Dat) feat. Migos. No skips, no skits, just music. The beautifully done cover art pictured A$AP Ferg in his blue durag rocking a pinky ring, basically foreshadowing what musical greatness to expect from Still Striving—ass shaking, hood anthems. I am pleased.

Still Striving: A$AP Ferg’s Struggle To Become A Household Name

Ferg was next up after Rocky. The hierarchy of A$AP Mob always had Ferg as the 2-man behind Facko, unfortunately the world had other ideas. Due to events that show that the heralded New York collective A$AP Mob may have some chinks in its ever talented armour. Proper promotion of anyone not named Rocky has always been more reliant on the quality of the music, which for most artists is more than enough. Yet the Mob has spoken of wanting to be the biggest and best crew in hip-hop. But to be the best and biggest, you need to have more then one person.  Ferg was next up after Rocky. After him Nast, Ant and Twelvyy were to be assumed though not maybe in that order. Ferg though, was supposed to be the next man up, and for a while everything was going according to plan

When the release of the Mob’s collaborative mixtape “Lord$ Never Worry” came in 2012 Ferg became a star.  Post “Lord$” Ferg released the massive singles “Shabba”, “Work”, and the “Work (Remix)” to lead up to the release of his hit debut album “Trap Lord”. From then on he went on tour, began pushing the singles “Hood Pope” and “Old English” along with a small chunk of features all in lead up to his mixtape 2014′s “Ferg Forever”, a tape meant to keep fans happy in between album releases. The “Ferg Forever” mixtape was a mixed bag of songs that varied between solid and meh, but it was enough to keep the fans happy. Then the well known death of A$AP Mob founder A$AP Yams shook the world, and the crew, to it’s core on January of 2015. This lead to a dark though creative dive from A$AP Rocky on his sophomore album “At.Long.Last.A$AP”. For Ferg  it wasn’t until November of that year that he would reemerged from the shadows with the back-breaking Future collab “New Level” , which was the beginning of the rollout for Ferg’s immaculate sophomore record “Always Strive And Prosper”.

 Though due to a rollout Ferg himself had come off as unhappy about in interviews, the 2016 record left little more than a blip on the hip-hop world’s radar. No one can predict if an album is going to be a hit or not, but “Always Strive” had all the making of being a commercial success. “New Level” received solid radio play, the tracklist was lined with features of respected artists, and popular newcomers. Ferg didn’t stray from his lyrically gritty background, yet still made records that could have crossed over into the Billboard Hot 100 Charts. Yet no one could really expect that days later Beyonce and Drake would release their albums. “Lemonade” by Beyonce went on to be one of the most popular and talked about albums of the year, while Drake’s “Views” became a commercial juggernaut. Yet for the fans of hip-hop who stayed away from the mainstream monsters that were Bey & Drake, they also were stuck with an abundance of music from Royce Da 5′9 and Aesop Rock, also released within in weeks of Ferg.  To me, those four releases are the reason Ferg was swept under the rug in that April. The Empire State Building sized shadow they all cast was enough to keep A$AP Mob’s 2-man subdued. Ferg’s only saving grace through the rest of the year would have been the release of the collectives second project “Cozy Tapes Vol. 1″.  An album that wouldn’t come for until going through the process of delay’s in very A$AP fashion. In the six months between releases Ferg tried pushing singles with the Migos and French Montana, but to no success. The “Cozy Tapes” album was meant to be a tribute to A$AP Yams, which explains the features from young upstarts like Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, and MadeinTYO. On Halloween of 2016 “Cozy Tapes Vol. 1: Friends-” was released, and showed Rocky as the lead among the other disciples of Yams. This comes as no surprise, due to one of the main critiques of “Lord$ Never Worry” was the lack of Rocky. Now, with an abundance of Rocky, Ferg was again left behind. His big look came from the original tape, and now Rocky and A$AP Ant lead the charge. Ferg though, made the best of his moments. His verse on “Yamborghini High” and “Young Nigga Living” were some of the best on the whole tape. Ferg showed out, but was shadowed yet again. 

“Cozy Tapes” became critically acclaimed as the year winded down. April came again, this time with Ferg reemerging with a single. “East Coast”, featuring Remy Ma (fresh off coming out the victor in a beef with Nicki Minaj) with production from DJ Khalil. A song that is Ferg personified in every way. A hard nosed pitbull banger, with a fiery barrage of bars that show Ferg has reached a new apex. With his third album “Still Striving” coming on August 18th, right in the middle of A$AP Twelvyy’s debut and “Cozy Tapes Vol. 2″, Ferg is facing a crossroads. The project will be good, that’s almost a guarantee, but how the world will view it is a whole different thing. If it’s anything like the lead single, it’ll end up being a masterpiece in it’s own right. Radio interviews, a dual single with Rocky as the lead up to “Cozy Tapes Vol. 2″ and the month of August being dedicated to A$AP releases is already a better promo run then for his last solo release. When the year comes to a close this whole article may be meaningless due to Ferg’s ascension on the back of his 3rd major release, which is what as a Ferg fan I am hopeful for. Being second fiddle to one of hip-hop's brightest young stars is levels above where he is at now, which is in a kind of No-Man's Land to the casual rap fan. Uptown grit, crossover missteps, questionable promotional tactics, club bangers, fashion dreams, and respect from peers. All pieces of the puzzle that makes up the career of A$AP Ferg, one with already so many ups and downs in such a short time. The worst part of the mishandling of A$AP Ferg is those who were supposed to be after him. Twelvyy is now seemingly the 3rd man with his major label project to drop before "Still Striving”, but he is only one of two artists not named Ferg or Rocky to drop solo’s. A$AP TyY’s mixtape “Best Kept Secret” is over a year old, yet still a secret to most. Whether it’s on the part of the artists not making music, or the Mob not having a clear direction since the death of Yams, many questions are unanswered about the crew. Ferg’s “Still Striving” being a make or break album is an over and understatement all in one. August (the 18th to be exact) will be a telling month for him, and all fans like myself can do is hope for the recognition he deserves.
