video: A$AP Mob feat. Flatbush Zombies - Bath Salt

Download A$AP Mob's (that's A$AP Rocky's crew) Lord$ Never Worry mixtape. It features production from AraabMuzik and Clams Casino, and guest spots from Raekwon, Danny Brown, and more.

While you're at it, check out the mixtape from Flatbush Zombies, D.R.U.G.S. It's backed by hallucinogenic, psychedelic beats.



A$AP Rocky's LongLiveA$AP is out on Halloween.

video/track: Lana Del Rey + A$AP Rocky - National Anthem + My Bitch

There's a lot of hate for LDR's lips out there, and their seeming inability to distinguish between Jackie O and Marilyn Monroe, but I like hearing them on rap tracks. I'm not usually one for female pop star hooks in rap, but I don't mind these songs at all. Hear another one here, where A$AP Rocky actually raps.

free album: Clams Casino - Instrumental Mixtape 2

The best producer in the game right now is back with a second collection of beats. There's a lot of A$AP Rocky, The Weeknd, Lil B, Washed Out, Mac Miller, Lana Del Rey, and more. You're gonna want to get this.

video: A$AP Rocky feat. Schoolboy Q - Brand New Guy

Download LiveLoveA$AP for free here. The follow-up, LongLiveA$AP, is coming July 4th.

video: A$AP Rocky - Goldie

"Goldie" is the first single from Rocky's follow-up to LiveLoveA$AP, titled LongLiveA$AP. It's due out July 4th on RCA.

video: A$AP Rocky - Wassup

The Clams Casino-produced A$AP Rocky track gets a video inspired by elements of Rocky's 5 favorite movies -- Scarface, Belly, Enter The Dragon, The Warriors, and Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. I dig the druggy, laid-back vibe. There's a whole lotta that on LiveLoveA$AP, which is available for free.

videos: Schoolboy Q - Hands on the Wheel + Nightmare on Figg St.

Schoolboy Q is a member of the loose rap collective Black Hippy - along with Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, and Ab-Soul. Keep an eye on those guys. Habits & Contradictions is pretty easily the best thing I've heard so far this year. It's somewhere in between Section.80 and LiveLoveA$AP. Get it, it's free.
